Horizon League Swimming and Diving Championships return to Akron

Feb. 23, 2008

Cleveland, Ohio -- The Horizon League Swimming and Diving Championships will return to the University of Akron's Oliver J. Ocasek Natatorium today.

Diving finals will begin at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) today with timed event finals following at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Because of the move, the Horizon League Network will not provide live web streaming of Saturday's competition.

The event was moved to Akron on Friday following a water-main break in the area surrounding Cleveland State University's Busbey Natatorium.

Heading into day four of the competition, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay continues to hold its lead with a score of 535, followed by Wright State University (465) and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (444). Rounding out the field are the University of Illinois at Chicago (244), Youngstown State University (179), Valparaiso University (153), Cleveland State University (113), and Butler University (81).

On the men's side, the Raiders started to pull away from the pack, totaling 535 points, followed by Cleveland State (447), Milwaukee (444), UIC (390.5), Green Bay (346.5) and Valparaiso (138).
