November 05, 2015 | Swimming & Diving
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee swimming and diving team is hosting its first regular-season home dual meet Friday with a women's meet against Arkansas at Allen Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center.
The Vols (4-3, 2-0 SEC), ranked 13th in the CSCAA polls, look to continue their unbeaten conference play in the meet against Arkansas (3-0, 1-0).
The meet starts at 3 p.m. and is scheduled to last approximately two hours. Admission is free.
This is Tennessee's first dual meet against Arkansas since defeating the Razorbacks 171-129 in October 2010. Tennessee is 8-0 all time in the series. Arkansas is not currently nationally ranked but is receiving votes.
Freshman Madeline Banic has been one of the national leaders in the butterfly to start her collegiate career. She recorded four second-place finishes last weekend in road meets at Louisville and Indiana. She has the sixth-fastest time this year in the 100-yard butterfly (53.57).
In diving, Sarah Chewning is coming off one of her best weekends of her senior year. She won both the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions last week at Louisville.
VOLS IN DUBAI
Freshman Joey Reilman is representing USA Swimming this weekend at the Dubai stop on the 2015 FINA World Cup. He has the ninth-best 200-meter backstroke qualifying time (1:59.90) and the 16th-best 50-meter backstroke time (26.80).
Recent graduate Molly Hannis is also competing for Team USA at the event in the breaststroke. She has picked up victories in her previous two Cup events in Tokyo and Doha.
