Meet marks final men's races before WAC Championships
The Grand Canyon men's and women's swimming and diving teams will compete in the final full-team meet before the WAC Championships on Saturday, facing off against UNLV in Las Vegas.
This will be the last regular-season competition for the GCU men before heading to Houston for the Feb. 26-March 1 conference championships, making it a key test against a strong WAC opponent which has won the previous four WAC Championships on the men's side.
The GCU squads are coming off a bye week after splitting results against California Baptist with a women's win and men's loss in Phoenix.
Lopes senior Aleksandra Wegrzynowska had a WAC Women's Swimmer of the Week performance, securing first place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1 minute, 51.0 seconds, taking second place in the 200 butterfly at 2:04.14 and winning the 400 individual medley with a time of 4:23.08.
The WAC Women's Diver of the Week, freshman Brooke Woeslaw, placed third in the 1-meter event with a score of 215.03 points and finished fourth in the 3-meter competition with 214.35 points.
On the men's side, GCU junior Alex Volkov claimed first place in the 100 backstroke with a time of 47.04 and second in the 100 freestyle at 44.87.
Omar Elsayed, a freshman diver, placed third in both diving events, scoring 324.08 points at 1 meter and 376.88 points at 3 meters.
Last season, the GCU men defeated UNLV 151-143, with major points coming from a one-two-three finish in the 100 backstroke by Sam Jennings (48.67), Alex Volkov (48.78) and Daniel Volkov (50.42).
Saturday's meet is set to begin at noon (Phoenix time) at Jim Reitz Pool.
The GCU women's team will head to Greeley, Colorado, on Feb. 8 for its regular-season finale.
