December 02, 2023 | Men's Swimming and Diving, Women's Swimming and Diving
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - - Ball State's swimmers turned in several impressive performances over the last three days against some of the nation's best at the Minnesota Invitational held Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 at the Jean K Freeman Aquatic Center.
Â
The Cardinals biggest performance came in Friday's evening session when senior Joey Garberick took top honors in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 52.69, improving his NCAA "B" Standard first reached at the House of Champions.
Â
BSU's five male swimmers competed against a field which included three teams ranked in the Top-25 in the latest CSCAA poll: No. 4 Cal, No. 18 Arizona and No. 21 Pittsburgh. The host Gophers also received votes in the latest poll.Â
Â
The Cardinals also received three top 10 efforts on the women's side starting with a fifth-place swim by Payton Kelly in Thursday's 50 freestyle finals at 22.42. Kelly also took eighth in Saturday's 100 freestyle with a finals time of 49.61. She was even faster in prelims, clocking in at 49.49.
Â
In Friday's action, senior Laura Wright turned in an eighth-place swim of 1:02.66 in the 100 breaststroke finals. In addition, her preliminary time of 1:01.66 was the second-best individual effort in program history.
Â
Ball State's two female swimmers competed against No. 13 Cal and the No. 25-ranked Gophers. Arizona also received votes on the women's side.
Â
This weekend's BSU swimmers will also compete in several long course meter time trials Sunday before breaking for the holiday.
Â
Following break, Ball State's women return to action Jan. 20 when it hosts Toledo. The men return the following week with a Jan. 26 swim at Miami.Â
