Men's Swimming & Diving Welcomes Four For Annual Big Al Invite
November 07, 2018 | Men's Swimming and Diving
LIVE VIDEO STREAM: Friday evening l Saturday morning
LIVE RESULTS: Complete weekend
The Princeton men's swimming and diving team opened its 2018-19 season in impressive fashion last weekend, sweeping every swimming event and adding a diving win in dominant victories over both Florida Atlantic and Boston College. If the Tigers sweep every swim event in their second meet this season, they'll grab quite a bit of attention.
DeNunzio Pool will serve as host of the 2018 Big Al Invitational this weekend. Duke, Lehigh, Northwestern and Penn State will make their way to Princeton for the three-session, two-day meet; there will be sessions at 10 am and 6 pm on Friday, as well as a 10 am session on Saturday. The evening session Friday and Saturday's morning session will both be streamed live on ESPN+ (see links above).
Co-captains Cole Buese and Murphy McQuet combined to win five individual events last weekend, including a trio by Buese (100/200 back, 100 fly). Both sophomore Levy Nathan and freshman Raunak Khosla, who will make his DeNunzio debut this weekend, were double winners in Boca Raton.
Below is the order of events for the weekend. All events will be timed finals; the women will compete first, followed by the men.
