11/29/2023 11:15:00 AM | Men's Swimming and Diving
WASHINGTON - The George Washington men's and women's swimming and diving teams are heading into competition for the final time as a team in 2023 when they take on the field at the Princeton Big Al Invitational. Hosted at DeNunzio Pool in Princeton, N.J., the meet begins with a long course meters (LCM) time trial session on Thursday, followed by an invitational-style meet with morning prelims and evening finals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday's sessions will be available to stream on ESPN+, and the live results can be found on the Meet Mobile app.
FALL REWIND
The GW Revs are completing the 2023 team slate this weekend after a fall packed with competition. The teams began the year in competitive dual meets versus Virginia Tech, Navy and Pitt, along with a visit to the Rutgers Invite and the West Virginia Diving Invitational. The Buff & Blue saw both individual and team success in the fall, highlighted by numerous A-10 weekly awards, a team event win for women's diving at the WVU Invitational and a historic dual-meet takedown of Pitt by the women's team.
A LOOK AHEAD
The Buff & Blue will look ahead towards three meets in the spring ahead of the Atlantic 10 Championships. GW will host Georgetown at the Smith Center for Senior Day on Saturday, January 20, ahead of traveling to Yale for a dual meet on Saturday, January 27 and to Virginia for the Cavalier Invite from Friday, February 9 through Sunday, February 11. The Atlantic 10 Championships will be held from Wednesday, February 21 through Saturday, February 24 at the Hampton Aquaplex in Hampton, Va.
THE FIELD
GW will compete in a ten-team field at the Big Al Invitational: GW, Princeton, Army (divers only), Buffalo (women's only), Cal State Bakersfield, Columbia (men's only), Denver, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Penn State.
