Swimming & Diving
At Louisville, the Centre men's and women's teams finished last among four teams in the Midwest Classic, but Centre coach Dean Brownley said he was pleased with the results.
The Colonels competed against DePauw, Washington (Mo.) and Washington & Lee in a meet that Centre coach Dean Brownley said was the first such meet during his career, and he said he was pleased with the way his swimmers competed.
“There were four teams that have all been in the top 25 in the nation for the last couple of years. Outside of the winter invitational meets and conference championships, we will not see that many good teams together in one place very often,” Brownley said. “I was very happy with how competitive that we were considering that we have 19 freshmen and 12 sophomores. The team is really doing a good job of hitting the weights hard and training in the pool at a higher level than we have before.”
