SALT LAKE CITY- Utah swimming and diving will head to Columbus, OH. to compete in the Ohio State Invitational. The meet is set to begin to take place Friday through Sunday, Nov. 18-20 at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

"This should be a very good and competitive meet in Columbus," said Utah head coach Joe Dykstra. "The line-up of teams is very impressive and we are looking forward to racing and diving against some of the very best in the NCAA including multiple NCAA event champions and Olympians. Ohio State has a terrific facility that will host the 2018 women's NCAA's so we are excited for the team to compete there. We've backed off in training for a few days and will wear fast suits so we expect season best and many lifetime bests from the whole squad."
