MEET INFORMATION
Purdue Men at the Ohio State Winter Invitational
Friday, Feb. 14 to Sunday, Feb. 16
Prelims at 11 a.m., Finals at 5 p.m. ET
McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion / Columbus, Ohio
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Ten of Purdue's men's swimmers are set to race in Columbus this weekend at the three-day, six-session Ohio State Winter Invitational.
Action is set for Friday through Sunday with prelims at 11 a.m. and finals at 5 p.m. Sunday, the finals session moves up an hour to 4 p.m. The field of men's teams also features swimmers from Ohio State, Stanford, Pitt and Cleveland State.
Representing Purdue includes: Chris Bartmess, Wyatt Blair, Cooper Callahan, Gabe Eschbach, Brody Friend, Gage Johnson, Charles Lee, Griffin Poulsen, AJ Robertson and Sam White. With 10 swimmers in attendance, fielding two teams in many of the relays will be an option.
The Boilermakers are scheduled to have an entry in 17 events (all but the 400 IM), with five events on Friday and six on both Saturday and Sunday. As an invitational meet format, the schedule of individual events mirrors the Big Ten Championships later this month. But unlike Big Tens, two relays are set for both Friday and Saturday as part of the finals sessions.
Selected Boilermakers competing this weekend will also race at Big Tens in two weeks as Minnesota hosts the men's meet for the first time since 2018.
Purdue regularly had co-ed representation at the Ohio State Winter Invite in the 2010s, but has not sent swimmers to Columbus in mid-February since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
