Date and Time:<\/b> Saturday, January 19 at Noon
\nLocation:<\/b> Minneapolis, Minnesota

Arizona State's Last Time Out:<\/b>
\nThe Arizona State men's swimming team concluded action at the Classic at SMU finishing third overall with a total of 351.5 points.<\/p>\n
The meet was packed with incredible talent as a team from Longhorn Aquatics under the moniker of the Texas All-Stars invaded the Classic. The squad included world-class swimmers like Brendan Hansen, Ian Crocker and Aaron Peirsol.<\/p>\n
Billy Sweeney had the only individual victory of the weekend for ASU as he won the three meter with 327.90.<\/p>\n
As for the women, they last competed in a quad meet on Jan. 5. The women handily defeated the three teams they faced, Oregon State (209-78), Purdue (201-86) and Washington (176-111).<\/p>\n

ASU also won the 200 free relay with Beckberger, Lindsey Brown, Jess Perazzo and Sara McDaniel combining for a 1:34.02.<\/p>\n
Looking forward with Arizona State head coach Michael Chasson:<\/b>
\nThis meet will provide very tough competition in a challenging situation. I hope our team will use is it as practice to get ready for the Pacific 10 Championships and NCAAs later in the season.<\/i><\/p>\n
Minnesota's Last Time Out:<\/b>
\nThe Minnesota men beat Hawaii in Honolulu, 176-107, on January 12. The Golden Gophers picked up wins in the 50 free (Colin Lee-To: 20.26), 100 free (Curt Carlson: 45.37), 200 free (Mike Woodson: 1:39.00), 500 free (Mike Holmes: 4:32.69), 1000 free (Nico Zebley: 9:24.18), 100 back (Russ Payne: 50.01), 200 back (Russ Payne: 1:47.95), 100 breast (Jason Timmer: 54.92), 200 breast (Jason Timmer: 2:00.73). They also won the 200 medley relay with David Plummer, Jon Roberts, Lee-To and Woodson touching in 1:31.08.<\/p>\n
As for the women, they whipped up on Idaho, 127-56, on Jan. 2. Individual wins came from Megan Braun (100 fly; 57.43), Diedre Dewall (100 back; 57.24, 200 IM; 2:05.10), Yuen Kobayashi (200 free; 1:50.81), Meredith McCarthy (50 free; 23.82, 100 free; 52.09), Jillian Tyler (100 breast; 1:02.59) and Courtney Veerman (500 free; 5:08.19).<\/p>\n

Looking forward with Minnesota men's head coach Dennis Dale<\/b>
\nThis is our first meet following our training trip and although our guys are a bit tired, I expect them to perform well and at a high level. There will be some great races with Arizona State. They have the top-ranked swimmer in the nation in the 400 IM in CJ Nuess and have two outstanding sprinters in Steve Neuwert and Mohammed Madwa, so you will see some great races there. Arizona State also has an excellent backstroker from Croatia in Ante Cvitkovic and a fantastic diver. Although we have considerably more depth, I expect this to be a very competitive meet.<\/i><\/p>\n
Looking forward with Minnesota women's co-head coach Terry Nieszner<\/b>
\nArizona State has a great team and we feel like they should be ranked much higher than they are. We had a great training trip but we are extremely tired. However, I think that we can pull it together and have a strong meet. I really expect this to be an exciting and competitive meet.<\/i><\/p>\n
