This past weekend, BGSU swim and dive (6-5, 0-4) traveled down south to Columbus to compete in the Ohio State Winter Invitational, at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
The swim meet saw the Falcons compete against multiple other schools that traveled to the area as well, but it left with some pretty impressive performances from each individual category, including two season-best marks.

On Friday, many saw sophomore Blanca Sanz place third in the 500 freestyle with her season-best mark of 5:01.19. Senior Lily Kaiser competed in the 200 IM, where she would finish seventh (2:09.87), adding another season best for the Orange and Brown. Kaiser also competed in the 500 freestyle B final (25.35).
