CARBONDALE, Ill.-- The Southern Illinois Swimming and Diving team will cap off their 10 day training camp with a tri-meet against Arizona and Northern Arizona on Friday Jan. 5 at 2 p.m. MST.Â
Â
"Our training camp here in Tucson has been very successful so far. The team having fundraised and paid for this trip on their own has really brought a sense of pride in being here and getting the most out of the experience" head coach Geoff Hanson said.
Â
The tri-meet features the Arizona Wildcats and the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks. The Saluki men have a 0-1 record against the wildcats, the meeting between the two in 1988 had a final score of 79-60. This will be the first meeting between the women's team and the Wildcats. This will be the first meeting between the Salukis and the Lumberjacks. Â
Â
The Salukis last competed Nov. 16-18 at the Purdue Invitational where five program records were broken.Â
Â
"We are excited to compete tomorrow for the first time since before Thanksgiving. Facing off against Arizona and NAU will be a great test for us. GO DAWGS!" said Hanson.Â
