I feel like we\u2019ve got good competition dates spread out and some great teams we\u2019re competing against. We have some nice multi-day meets highlighted by the Purdue Invite in November and then the U.S. Winter National meet a couple weeks later in December. Those are going to be right at the midseason mark \u2013 which is a great way for us to find out where we\u2019re at and evaluate our athletes midway through \u2013 when they should be in good shape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bears\u2019 13-meet regular season schedule features five home meets \u2013 including crosstown rival Drury and in-state rival Missouri \u2013 at Hammons Student Center, six opponents from Power Five conferences, four teams that were ranked in the CSCAA Division I Top 25 Rankings and an appearance at the 2015 U.S. Winter National Championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always been my philosophy on swim meets during the dual-meet season that we want to challenge our athletes the best we can,\u201d Collins said. \u201cI think in doing that and preparing for our conference championship portion of the season, we want to compete against the best talent we can. I think we\u2019ve done that the last few years and what that\u2019s done for us is when we get into the conference championships, we\u2019ve competed against great swimmers. When we get into the NCAA Championships, we see a lot of familiar faces which I think is important. That will continue to be our philosophy. We\u2019re not looking for a set amount of wins on the year, we\u2019re just looking to improve week-to-week and a challenging heavy schedule does that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Missouri State begins its 50th season of men\u2019s swimming and diving and 17th season of women\u2019s swimming and diving at the 11th annual Missouri Show-Me Showdown on the University of Missouri\u2019s campus on <span data-term=\"goog_1469823744\">Oct. 2<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears host two conference duals the following week, taking on Evansville <span data-term=\"goog_1469823745\">Friday, Oct. 9<\/span>, and the Salukis of Southern Illinois Saturday, Oct. 10.<\/p>\n<p>Homecoming at Missouri State keeps the Bears busy in the pool when Drury visits the Hammons Student Center for the \u201cDuel in the Pool\u201d Friday, Oct. 16, followed by the annual Alumni and Intrasquad exhibition meet on <span data-term=\"goog_1469823748\">Saturday, Oct.17<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really a positive thing to be able to have home meets, especially at the beginning of the season,\u201d Collins said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got a fresh bunch of freshmen that may be a little nervous to get the season started, so being able to do that at home is great. Our parents and fans usually show up pretty well at home meets, so that will be a nice way to kick things off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A busy October comes to an end for the Bears as they travel to Lawrence, Kansas, for the second consecutive year. MSU will take on Denver\u2019s men\u2019s and women\u2019s squads <span data-term=\"goog_1469823749\">Oct. 23-24<\/span> \u2013 which won their respective conference championships last season \u2013 while the women\u2019s team will also compete with Kansas, which finished third in the Big 12 Championships a season ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears return to action a month later when they appear at the Purdue Invitational from <span data-term=\"goog_1469823750\">Nov. 20-22<\/span>. The Invite features eight women\u2019s teams and six men\u2019s teams, including a crop of the country\u2019s top mid-major programs. Host Purdue\u2019s women\u2019s squad ranked 21st nationally in the final CSCAA poll in 2014-15, while Atlantic Coast Conference-member Notre Dame finished in the top six at its conference championships.<\/p>\n<p>Other schools that will feature men\u2019s teams at the Purdue Invite include Southern Illinois, Wyoming and Air Force. San Diego and Florida International both field only women\u2019s teams, but the FIU Panthers went 10-0 in duals last season and won the Conference USA championship.<\/p>\n<p>Before the end of the 2015 calendar year, the Bears will travel to Federal Way, Washington, for the USA Winter National Championships from Dec. 2-5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis being an Olympic year, it\u2019s important we put in a long-course competition \u2013 a 50-meter competition \u2013 so that our athletes that are on the track for either trying to qualify for the Olympics or trying to qualify for our U.S. Olympic trials, get that opportunity,\u201d Collins said. \u201cWe had a good summer competing 50-meters and I think that\u2019ll be a good opportunity for those athletes to also see where they\u2019re at in the 50-meter pool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>January begins the home stretch for MSU ahead of its conference championships which begin in February.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears head to College Station, Texas, for a second year as the men\u2019s squad takes on the Texas A&amp;M Aggies on <span data-term=\"goog_1469823752\">Jan. 7<\/span>. Both the men and women will travel to Kirksville for a dual at Truman State<span data-term=\"goog_1469823753\">Jan.16<\/span>, before returning to Springfield for the second edition of the \u201cDuel in the Pool\u201d at Breech Pool<span data-term=\"goog_1469823754\">Jan. 21<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Senior day will feature an in-state affair as the Missouri Tigers \u2013 who last season ranked 14th and 18th in the final Division I CSCAA rankings on the men\u2019s and women\u2019s side, respectively \u2013 visit Hammons Student Center on <span data-term=\"goog_1469823755\">Saturday, Jan. 23<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>MSU\u2019s regular season concludes as the men\u2019s team travels to South Bend, Indiana, for the Shamrock Invitational. The Bears will race host Notre Dame along with Iowa, which was ranked 21st in the final CSCAA poll last season, and Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that point in the second part of the year in January, you\u2019re really trying to fine tune a racing plan,\u201d Collins said. \u201cYou\u2019re trying to fine tune some small details that you want to come together at both championships. That\u2019s a good opportunity to get some good opponents there in late January that\u2019ll give us a good chance to finish out that part of our season and really just fine tune some of the details that need to be crisp heading into the conference meets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The women\u2019s swimming and diving team will compete at the 2016 Missouri Valley Conference Swimming and Diving Championship, which takes place from <span data-term=\"goog_1469823756\">Feb. 17-20<\/span> at the Dr. Edward J. Shea Natatorium on the campus of Southern Illinois in Carbondale. The 2016 Mid-American Championships, hosted by Eastern Michigan, will take place from <span data-term=\"goog_1469823757\">March 2-5<\/span> in Ypsilanti, Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Both NCAA Championship meets will be hosted by Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia. The women\u2019s championships are scheduled for <span data-term=\"goog_1469823758\">March 17-19<\/span> and the men\u2019s championships will occur the following week from <span data-term=\"goog_1469823759\">March 24-26<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><i>The above article is a press release submitted to Swimming World.
