STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford's men's swimming and diving team wraps up its fall season with a trip to Austin, Texas, to compete in the Texas Invitational.
The meet, hosted by defending national champions Texas, kicks off on Wednesday evening with the 800-yard freestyle relay – last season, Stanford's quartet of Grant Shoults, Tom Kremer, Abrahm DeVine and Liam Egan (6:12.66) set a program record in the event, finishing seventh at NCAA's.
Last season, Stanford qualified 11 swimmers for the NCAA Championships at the Texas Invitational, including three swimmers – Liam Egan (4:12.99), True Sweetser (4:12.97) and Grant Shoults (4:12.03) – breaking the previous mark of 4:13.07 (Shaun Phillips, 2007).
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, preliminary sessions will begin at 8 a.m. PT. Finals sessions each night will start at 4 p.m., with live results available at GoStanford.com.
