FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU men's swimming and diving team will play host to No. 24 SMU on Friday at 6 p.m. at the University Recreation Center, followed by a Saturday contest between the TCU women's team and New Mexico at 12 p.m.
The men's team (6-3, 2-3) is coming off of a 95-88 win at Centenary, where the Frogs broke six Centenary Fitness Center records. Senior Scott McCracken broke the 50-free (21.07) and 100-free (47.34), while Ben Biefnes (200-breast), Jeff Gettel (200-back) and Jason Hauck (200-fly) also set new pool marks.
The Frogs will renew their rivalry with SMU for the first time since the 2004-05 season on Friday. The Mustangs are currently ranked No. 24 nationally and are 4-1 overall this season, with their lone loss coming to No. 4 Arizona.
The women's team (5-7, 1-6) also had a successful showing last weekend, setting five new Centenary Fitness Center records en route to a 102-73 victory. The 200-medley relay team of Brittney?Martinez, Ellie Bradley, Mychala Lynch and Nikki Pappas began the meet by breaking the pool record with a time of 1:51.24. The 200-free relay team of Lynch, Martinez, Meredith Grubb and Pappas also ended the meet on a positive note, setting a new pool mark of 1:40.36. Freshman Jessica Miles broke the old pool record in the 200-fly with a time of 2:10.38, while Cheryl Townsend set a new mark in the 200-back (2:08.84) and Katie Rosen shattered the 200-breast record with a time of 2:27.26.
The Frogs have faced New Mexico twice in Albuquerque since joining the Mountain West Conference, taking both meets, including a 132-97 victory a year ago.
