DETROIT -- The Wayne State University men's swimming & diving team finished its home-opening Hard Hat Invitational on Saturday afternoon after playing host to Findlay, Lake Superior State and Northern Michigan. Not including Saturday's diving results between the Warriors and Wildcats at Oxford High School, WSU was first among the four-team field with 1,810 points.
"It was a successful weekend for the Warriors!," said head coach
Sean Peters. "We saw quite a few improvements, which is excellent, as we are in a heavy training mode, and we were not using the tech suits. I am very proud of this Warrior family, and looking forward to December!"
