Most of the top teams in the nation have had a challenging dual meet early in the season, many have already had a rivalry meet.<\/p>\n

But the competition will reach a new level this week at the Ohio State Invitational, which runs Friday-Sunday at McCorkie Aquatic Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n

With 10 participating schools, mostly ranked and power conference teams, this meet will have the feel of a conference meet, even a national meet at times.<\/p>\n

The host Ohio State Buckeyes are ranked No. 25 in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America men\u2019s poll, while the women are No. 24.<\/p>\n

The competition they have invited is fierce.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 Stanford women will be there, giving freshman Katie Ledecky<\/strong> her first big collegiate invitational. Ledecky has been shattering NCAA and pool records left and right and many of the McCorkie records could be in jeopardy this week.<\/p>\n

If the competition isn\u2019t going against Ledecky, it is a pick your poison feel for coaches with Stanford\u2019s Simone Manuel, Lia Neal<\/strong> and Janet Hu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From the Big Ten, the Penn State men and women (No. 29) will participate, as well as both Iowa teams.<\/p>\n

Penn State\u2019s Shane Ryan<\/strong> is coming off the NCAA\u2019s fastest 100-yard backstroke this season in 45.75 at the USA College Challenge.<\/p>\n

Joining Stanford from the Pac-12 are the Utah men (No. 26) and women and the Washington State women (No. 27).<\/p>\n

Kentucky (No. 22 men, No. 23 women), Yale, Pitt and Division III power Kenyon also will compete in Columbus.<\/p>\n

The meet is set up in a three-day format with prelims at 11 a.m. ET on Friday, 10 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday. Finals begin at 6 p.m. Friday, 5 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

Northwestern Invitational<\/h3>\n

Ohio State isn\u2019t the only Big Ten team hosting an invitational this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Northwestern Wildcats are hosting their annual invitational in Evanston, Ill., that runs Friday-Sunday.<\/p>\n

Big Ten foe Michigan State will compete as well as Air Force, Grand Canyon University, St. Louis University, Truman State, Illinois-Chicago and Northern Iowa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
