Men's Swimmers Close Competition at Minnesota Invite
November 24, 2002 | Men's Swimming & Diving
Looking ahead to the Texas Invitational, the No. 14 Wisconsin men's swimming and diving team exited the Minnesota Invitational early Sunday, and still took third overall. The Badgers traditionally leave the Minnesota meet early to rest and prepare for Texas.
The Badgers competed in two of seven events Sunday. The 400 free relay team of Eric Wiesner, Dale Rogers, Adam Mania and Matt Marshall captured first-place in 3:01.12.
In the 1650 free, Michael Hamm and Andrew Ackley finished in seventh and eighth, respectively. Hamm touched in 16:09.23 and Ackley glided in at 16:09.54.
The Badgers swim next at the Texas Invitational, Dec. 5-7. The Texas Invite is a crucial meet where many swimmers earn NCAA qualifying times. It is also the last competition for the Badgers before their strenuous winter break training trip to Hawaii.
