By Jason Marsteller

PHOENIX, Arizona, November 2. THIS Saturday, several Olympians will converge on Piscataway, N.J., as efforts continue in the struggle to keep Rutgers men's swimming and diving alive. The occasion will take place surrounding what may be the final Saturday dual meet in Rutgers history against Connecticut at 1 p.m. in the RU Aquatic Center located in the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center.

Prior to the meet, Richard Quick will host a clinic at the pool. For Quick's thoughts on the Rutgers cuts, and collegiate athletics cuts in general, please click the Swimming World Audio button on the right.
