Swimming: women finish a half-point shy; men has the talent to win

Last year, the women’s team came up a half point shy of winning their ninth-consecutive Missouri Valley Conference Championship. The men’s team was also impressive while finishing at third place in the Mid-American Conference.

The men are looking to capture the MAC championship in 2016, and they should have the talent necessary to do so.

Sophomore Artur Osvath was the team's lone NCAA qualifier last season. Osvath finished 17th overall in the 200-yard breaststroke and achieved honorable mention All-American status as a freshman.

The women’s team is looking to rebound from last year; head coach Dave Collins said he believes the team had a comfortable mindset which may have led to the ending of their streak.
