JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida swimming and diving team is set to host a pair of meets on Friday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7, at the UNF Aquatic Center. The Ospreys begin the weekend with a dual meet against UNC Wilmington on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. On Saturday at 12 p.m., North Florida hosts a tri meet against College of Charleston and Radford.
In addition to the women's swimming and diving action, UNCW's men's swimming and diving team will compete against College of Charleston on Friday during the UNF meet.
The meets are the first for North Florida since the Ospreys participated in the Highlander Invitational in Radford, Va. on Nov. 17-19. UNF had a solid showing in the three-day event finishing among the top half of the competition. Diver Julia Moomaw was named Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Diver of the Week for her efforts in the meet.
North Florida is 2-1 overall in home swim meets during the 2011-12 season. In a quad meet on Oct. 29, the Ospreys fell to FIU (L, 111.00-187.00), but recorded a pair of impressive victories over Campbell (W, 168.00-119.00) and Florida A&M (W, 235.00-21.00).
In the last home event, North Florida opened the four-team meet with a tight victory in the 200-yard medley relay.
