DETROIT -- The Wayne State University men's swimming team won six of nine events on day one of its 2026-27 home opener on Friday while hosting Findlay, Lake Superior State and Northern Michigan.  Saturday, WSU and NMU will dive at Oxford High School (9 a.m.) while the men and women's swimmers for all four schools will continue to compete inside the Matthaei Natatorium.

"It all worked out," said head coach Sean Peters.  "I was happy that the teams had some really nice performances, and I feel across the board that the races were strong.  Having some of the top-rated teams here is elevating our level, and I hope tomorrow will see more of the same."
