Meet Notes
CLEVELAND, Miss. - Delta State will compete in their final home meet of the season as Henderson State and West Florida visit the DSU Aquatics Center. The meet will also have a ceremony prior to the competition to recognize this season's batch of seniors.
DSU is coming off of a convincing victory over Ouachita Baptist in which wins were secured in 25 of 26 events.
Delta State defeated Henderson State in dual meet action earlier this season from Arkadelphia, Ark., with the Lady Statesmen (No. 5 - CollegeSwimming.com) winning 147 - 80 and the Statesmen (No. 10) claiming the 123 - 120 decision. This will be the first dual meet action between the Lady Statesmen and the West Florida Argonauts - UWF only fields a women's team. Both HSU and UWF finished behind Delta State in action at the DSU Christmas Invitational.
The Statesmen have seen a few school records fall in recent meets.
Yvan Nys has eclipsed his own mark in the 200-Backstroke (1:46.63), while
Matthew Swaine has twice set a new mark for six dives from 1 Meter (323.05). The Statesmen have also established a new school record for the 400-Medley Relay (3:18.20).
The Lady Statesmen have rewritten the record books, setting new marks in a dozen events this season. Seven individual records have been established;
Melanie Tombers has set four,
Anastasia Klyarovskaya owns a pair - including an NCAA D-II record, and
