Women’s Recap
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. — The Wayne State University women’s swimming and diving team fell in its season-opening meet against Oakland earlier this evening. The Warriors lost 100-22. The meet included mixed relays, shootout 50-yard races and individual medley races where the stroke order was determined seconds before starting.
“This really was a fantastic idea to start the season. We went with a format that we never really see,” head coach Sean Peters said. “Mixed relays, shootout 50’s where the field is narrowed to the fastest from each school facing off against each other, and individual medley’s where the stroke order was given mere seconds before the race. It was a great experience, and the Warriors really came together tonight.”
