The Falcon swim team will host the Vikings from Cleveland State University this evening starting 6 p.m. at Cooper Pool. This non-conference dual meet is the last home meet for the 2010-11 season.
At Cooper Pool the Falcons have split their two dual meets. They beat Akron to begin the season 160-134 and then returned later in the season to lose a tough competitive meet against Eastern Michigan 158-136. BG (2-2, 1-2 Mid American Conference) will try to improve to 3-2 overall and gain some momentum heading into the dual meet on Friday against rival Toledo.
Alexis Kain and Vicky Yu are 4-0 thus far at home in their signature events, Yu’s being the butterfly and Kain’s being the breaststroke. They each have also helped the Falcons combine for three relay victories in four attempts this season.
Tonight’s meet will also include Senior Day for the BG swimmers Sarah Burston and Carrie Enright. They will both be honored in a ceremony before the start of the meet.
Cleveland State enters the meet with a 14-3 mark in dual events and will be attempting to set a school record for wins in a single season. The Falcons will be primed to stop the record from being set against them in tonight’s meet.
With two meets this week and getting ready for the MAC championships approaching, coach Petra Martin said the team is working hard and fixing technical things.
“I want the sprinters to be a little sharper, which will end up coming together,” Martin said.
After this evening’s meet the Falcons will be heading up on I-75 to face the Rockets from Toledo Friday night in the last MAC dual meet of the season.
