WVU Swim Team Schedule for 2009

Our daughter Jamie is currently participating with the West Virginia University swim team. She is coming off a back injury and is working very hard to get herself into swimming shape. I am not sure if she will be traveling with the team.

 Here is the schedule for the 2009-2010 season.

After the annual Blue and Gold Meet on Oct. 3 in the WVU Natatorium, the men travel to State College, Pa., on Oct. 24, to battle Penn State in a dual meet.

The squad then will host back-to-back meets against Cincinnati and Louisville the first weekend in November.

The Louisville meet will also be the same day the Mountaineers take on the Cardinals on the football field. The following weekend, West Virginia will travel for a dual meet against fellow BIG EAST member, Villanova, on Nov. 13.

After participating in the Ohio State Invitational from Dec. 3-6, West Virginia will travel to Cocoa Beach, Fla., from Dec. 30-Jan. 6, for a training trip. This is the second consecutive season the Mountaineers have gone on a winter training trip. An opponent will be announced at a later date. Last season the squad trained with Arizona and then faced the Wildcats in a dual meet.

Pitt comes to town on Jan. 9 for an 11 a.m. contest with the Mountaineers looking for redemption on last year’s nail-biting loss to the Panthers.

Both squads return to action on Jan. 24 when they travel to College Park, Md., to take on Maryland. The following weekend the regular season with Virginia Tech and Duquesne coming to Morgantown completes the regular season.

WVU begins postseason action with the 2010 BIG EAST Championships
hosted by Pitt. The diving events will be held the week before the swimming events from Feb. 12-14, with the swimming events to follow from Feb. 17-20. Both will be held at Trees Pool in Pittsburgh.
