Edinboro University men’s and women’s swimming competed against the Bloomsburg Huskies in their third meet of the season on Friday. The men fell 119-74, dropping to 1-2 on the season. The women lost 112-88, falling to 2-1.
“I was happy with most of the swims. We raced well in some cases, but we still need to work on the little things that affect our races,” said Head Coach Chris Rhodes.
“They are working extremely hard in the practice and are starting to get tired and it showed. We have a great opportunity this weekend to race and then we will be resting, which we are excited about.”
The men won three events, with the following swimmers clocking PSAC qualifying times:
