Missouri State Bears Men’s Swim Team Defeats Drury University at Drury’s Pool for the First Time in 5 Years!!!

by

A shout out to the Men’s Swimming and Diving Team for such a dominant performance in the pool at Drury University last night as they took a win at Drury for the first time in 5 years at Drury’s pool. The two teams swim against one another twice each year, once in the Fall Semester at Missouri State University and once in the Spring Semester at Drury University’s pool. Often each team aspires to win with their home “field” performance if you will. Missouri State winning the meets in Hammon’s Student Center, and Drury winning at their pool.

The competition was fierce and the atmosphere was that of an epic home town battle. Records were broken, and spirits were high with excitement as each race and each performance in diving was truly special. Both the Men’s and Women’s Swimming AND Diving Team had spectacular performances and so many that were noteworthy that I’ll leave you to read about it at the Missouri State Bears Athletics Page. It was truly a victory earned and I am very proud of the Bears for putting in the many hard hours in the pool, and weight room as well as being thankful for the sacrifices they make to represent this school.

In other news, the Bears Men’s Basketball team fell to Wichita State University last night by only 10 points.

The Lady Bears Basketball team will be taking on Evansville, and SIU this weekend so stay tuned in to find out more about what’s happening!

And the Bears Men’s and Woman’s Swimming & Diving teams will be taking on Rolla at Missouri S&T this Friday.

Last but not least the Missouri State University Track team will be competing at the Rod  Mccravy Memorial Meet in Lexington, KY on Saturday.

Lets go Bears! Fight Hard!
