The Akron Invite was very exciting the last night, with some good racing and some fast swims. Roman Becicka started off the night by winning the 1650 free with a time of 16:03.30. The men's 100 free was very exciting as Ed LeBlanc just touched out Ryan Tiel from Clarion with a new meet and pool record of 44.97. On the women's side Caitie Zajko won the 200 breast, breaking the school and meet record with a time of 2:19.20. The men wrapped up the meet winning the 400 free relay in a nice early season time of 3:04.87.
With the final day of the Akron Invitational now over, the swimmers will be focusing their attention to finals this week and then home to get ready for our Florida trip in Pompano Beach. All-in-all I was pleased with the teams performance over these last three days; I would give us a "B". We got a good look at St. Bonaventure and a very sharp Xavier program. To really be able to compete in February all of our swimmers will need to step it up and score points. The foundation has been laid out, the next two and a half months will define who we want to be. Good luck to all of the Duquesne Swimmers on Finals! I am off to Juniors in Columbus tomorrow and will return on Friday.
See you around the pool,
Dave
