The Eagles host Denison, Oct. 22, at Jones Natatorium
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men's swimming and diving team returns to the pool this weekend, Oct. 22, when it hosts Denison University at Jones Natatorium.
The Eagles enter the weekend after coming up short against Northwestern on the road in their season opener, Oct. 14. Four first-place finishes paced the Eagles, including a sweep of the backstroke events by sophomore Tosh Kawaguchi (Cary, N.C.-Cary). Kawaguchi ultimately earned MAC Swimmer of the Week honors for his performance that also included a runner-up finish in the 200 IM. Meanwhile, junior Logan Burton (Chesapeake, Va.-Hickory) and sophomore Ricky Perez reeled in first-place finishes for the Green and White. Burton touched in ahead of the field in the 100 butterfly, while Perez claimed the top spot in the 200 IM.
2016 NCAA Division III Champion Denison travels north after taking home first-place at both the Kenyon Relays and Denison Diving Relays, Oct. 15. The Eagles are one of five NCAA Division I teams on the Big Red's schedule this season. Last year, DU competed against Northwestern, UIC, Ohio State, Xavier, Miami, and Ohio. The Big Red won the Miami Invitational, besting Miami as well as Emory and Urbana.
The Eagles dual against Denison is scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m. in Jones Natatorium, Oct. 22. Live results will be available for the meet by clicking here.
