ROLLA, Mo. – Missouri S&T Swimming is back this weekend as they take on Missouri-St. Louis on Friday afternoon.

S&T is coming off a ninth-place finish at the House of Champions Invitational. Multiple Miners recorded career-bests including Aidan Walters (Olathe, KS/Olathe East) in the 50-yard free with a time of 20.33. Oscar Iden (Oslo, Norway/Oslo Private Gymnasium) had a career-high time of 48.12 in the 100-yard butterfly. Connor Bichsel (Lee's Summit, MO/Lee's Summit West) collected a first-place finish in the 400-yard IM, clocking in with a season-best of 3:50.40.

After two meets out of the GLVC, the Miners have four regular season meets left including the Tritons. Last season versus UMSL, S&T narrowly lost 105-107. Bichsel and Adam Wiedemeier (West Monroe, LA/West Monroe) both picked up first-place finishes in that meet.

In the most recent CSCAA poll, the Miners are receiving votes in the top 25.
