The 19th-ranked SMU Men's Swimming and Diving team is set to open its season by hosting a loaded field at the annual SMU Classic on Friday and Saturday at Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center.
Friday's action begins at 6 p.m. and Saturday starts at 11 a.m. Admission is free to the public, but fans should be aware of SMU's clear bag policy.
THE SMU CLASSIC
The Mustangs are set to welcome five top-20 programs to Dallas for the annual SMU Classic. Â This year, the event includes No. 4/1 Indiana, No. 10/9 Virginia Tech, No. 12/12 Texas A&M, No. 13/16 Louisville and No. 16/12 Auburn. The Hokies and Cardinals are also new conference foes for SMU as the Mustangs enter their first year in the conference.
IN THE POLLS
The preseason CSCAA Top 25 placed the Mustangs at No. 19, and SMU was the first team out of the SwimSwam Preseason Power Rankings. SMU has a loaded slate this season, facing off against nine programs ranked in both polls. Including SMU, 11 ACC programs were either ranked or received votes in one of the polls in the preseason.
RETURNING TO THE HILLTOP
SMU returns three All-American swimmers from last season. Graduate student Jack Hoagland picked up All-America honors in the 500 free, 1650 free, 400 IM and 800 free relay last season. Joining him on the 800 free relay was graduate student Chris Mykkanen and junior Jack Forrest.
HIGH-LEVEL DIVING IN DALLAS
Three divers fill out the SMU roster this season, including junior John Dymond, sophomore Ethan Hunter and freshman Luke Sitz. Last season, Dymond qualified for NCAA Zone's on 1-meter and 3-meter, along with being named the Atlantic Sun Most Outstanding Diver of the Championship. Sitz joins the Mustangs as a freshman, but has already posted elite performances on a national level. At the 2024 US Diving Olympic Team Trials, he placed fourth on 3-meter and synchronized 3-meter. The Prosper, Texas, native was the highest finisher of anyone below the age of 20 in both events.
