PHOENIX, Arizona, November 26. THIS weekend, we break out of the dual meet mold to provide wall-to-wall coverage of the Texas Invitational as part of the SwimmingWorldMagazine.com Meet of the Week. With the USA Short Course National Championships taking place at the same time, top talent will mostly be found in either Austin, Texas or Atlanta, Ga.
The Longhorns will welcome teams from Arizona, Arizona State, Cal State Northridge (Men), Nebraska (women), Stanford, SMU, TCU, UNLV and Wisconsin to the three-day affair held at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas.
