DALLAS (SMU) – SMU is set to host its annual SMU Classic on Oct. 10-11 at 3 p.m. and 10 a.m., welcoming four opponents, No. 20 Auburn, No. 12 Louisville, No. 14 LSU and Drury.
Both the Cardinals and the Auburn Tigers competed at the SMU Classic last season, finishing second and fourth, respectively. Last SMU Classic, Luke Sitz walked away with wins and NCAA Zone Cuts on both 3-meter and 1-meter. Three of the four opponents finished the 2024-25 season in the CSCAA Top 25 poll with Louisville ranking 11th, Auburn earning 17th and LSU claiming 20th. Drury won the 2024-25 Division II men's championship title.
In the season opener on Oct. 3, SMU claimed a commanding win over Oklahoma Christian (194-74) and Incarnate Word (186-83), earning victories in 15 events.
The Mustang divers got to work, claiming four NCAA Zone Cuts. On 1-meter, sophomore Luke Sitz (370.25) and freshmen RJ Snyder (313.35) and Grant Cates (331.25) all scored well enough to qualify for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships. On 3-meter, the reigning ACC Diver of the Week RJ Snyder also nabbed an NCAA Zone Cut, scoring a 326.00. All three Mustangs have punched their ticket to compete at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships on March 9-11 in College Station,Texas.
Currently, the Mustangs have five times in this season's NCAA top-10 times list: Squad of Brennan/Chateigner/Sungail/Likins (4th, 400 Free Relay, 2:54.86), Andy Baklanov (5th, 200 Back, 1:44.44), Jack Berube (6th, 200 Back, 1:44.51), Francis Brennan (8th, 200 Free, 1:35.74), Jack Forrest (9th, 1000 Free, 9:13.62).
