Buffalo Swimming and Diving opens their season over two meets

@UBSwimDive on Twitter

I think the rhythm I got into last year with Swimming and Diving was including in posts event winners, NCAA cuts, and new season bests. Obviously on the first weekend of the season I don't have much to go on after UB's split effort in Florida and in Amherst.

So for today here's a rundown of the full UB showing on the weekend, and next week I'll fall more into that rhythm from last year. I won't really bother with the relays right now, since in Florida, where a good chunk of the best swimmers were, they were all shuffled up rather than in clear A and B groups.

There's not a whole lot we can learn from this weekend other than a general pecking order, but for now I've bolded the freshman and other new faces.
