- Full Meet Recap
The Virginia Tech men took down a pair of Big Ten opponents Penn State and Ohio State last weekend in a double-dual meet, and Hokie senior Simon Shi has put together a behind-the-scenes video of the team’s trip to show what it’s like to take a Division I swim team on the road for a big regular season dual meet.
“I really wanted to show everyone what college swimming is all about,” Shi said of the video, “and especially the intensity on deck for the relays.”
Virginia Tech will stay close to home for the next few weeks, with another double-dual scheduled on November 8th against Richmond and NCAA Division II National Champions Queens. They’ll then see the Ohio State Buckeyes again when they travel to the Ohio State invite from November 21st-23rd.
Swimswam deleting the comment about the untimely inclusion of Pumped up Kicks in the vlog…
Really enjoyed this
21.97 relay split from Maddie Cooke in October
I didn’t realize Penn State competes in a 6-lane 25-yd pool.
Yeppers – had to swim PA YMCA States there for almost a decade. Well-run meet, but horribly slow due to the size
how’s that new pool coming at psu??
It’s a hockey rink. No new pool in PSU future
My understanding is Hockey got a big donor, swimming didn’t. The school doesn’t value the program enough to invest maybe?
They have two 6 lane pools and a separate diving well. One is 25 yards and one is 25 meters.
And an 8 lane outdoor 50m. Open April to November.
Felt so nice to train in that 50 meter pool last summer… LOL, oh wait it was closed.
One of the worst facilities in Big 10 for swimming. They shouldn’t be able to host any college meets there. Maybe then the school will update pool!!
That assumes the school cares. If the university cared, they would have already built a new facility.
As was noted above, the outdoor 50 meter pool was “broken” most of the summer. My understanding is that basic preventative maintenance wasn’t done. Meets that were scheduled there had to be cancelled or relocated.
For a state that has so much swimming talent, the pools are not at an equivalent level.
……or maybe they won’t update the pool…..and take a note from the Clemson playbook.
Here comes VT! The mighty Hokies will beat NC State and Virginia for years to come. Sergio is the real deal
Funny comment! There’s a reason no one followed him from Auburn…minus Hugo who immediately left
Funny comment! There’s a reason that no one followed him from Auburn…minus Gonzalez who regretted that move. Pack dynasty for years to come
That’s why Hugo has not got a PB in any event or pool since 🙂
That’s kind of a clown thing to say considering Hugo hasn’t gone a best time yet
