The NCAA dual meet season continues to be on the rise this week with 59 meets on the schedule. Highlighting the week are numerous SEC matchups including LSU vs Texas and Florida vs Alabama.

Dan Ross Indiana Intercollegiate is listed twice (the duplicate is “Indiana Intercollegiates”) – could also list the teams attending.
Akron Zips classic is listed on here already, but you could add in the teams attending – Akron, Denison, Xavier, Youngstown State.
SMU Classic is Auburn, Louisville, Texas A&M, Indiana, Virginia Tech
What’s odd is that SMU’s site doesn’t show IU as competing there. IU’s site shows the SMU Classic but it also has their intrasquad meet listed as Oct 11 which overlaps.
So whether IU is competing in it or not isn’t clear. I’m guessing they’re not. They probably initially agreed to compete then pulled out.
SMU site: October 11-12 – SMU Classic (Auburn, Louisville, Texas A&M, USC, Virginia Tech)
IU site:
Oct 11 (Fri) 2 p.m.Home Cream and Crimson (Exh.) Bloomington, IN (Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center)
Oct 11 (Fri) Away SMU Classic Dallas, Texas
The UF-Alabama meet is cancelled due to hurricane Milton
Notre Dame women swim Miami Ohio on 10/11. It’s on both school’s pages.
think you guys made a mistake with the NJIT Invite… I think the men’s only team at NJIT is definitely competing against other men’s teams lol
notre dame is hosting miami OH women on 10/11.
