Get ready for an action-packed week in college swimming! With just two weeks until the mid-season mark, this upcoming weekend promises to be a thrilling showcase of aquatic prowess.
The Raleigh Rumble takes center stage, featuring a double dual meet between three powerhouse programs: NC State, Virginia Tech, and Ohio State. All six teams involved are ranked in the top 25, with NC State leading the way at #6 for the men and #7 for the women. It's a highly anticipated clash that will surely deliver some memorable moments.
But here's where it gets controversial... Kentucky travels to Louisville for a rivalry meet, and Louisville is out for revenge after sweeping the meet last year. Can Kentucky turn the tables this time around?
And this is the part most people miss... Cal hosts Stanford for a triple-distance meet, a rematch of their encounter two weeks ago where Stanford emerged victorious. Will Cal be able to turn the tide and claim a win this time?
