Drury men's and women's swimming coach Brian Reynolds says in the latest "Panther Podcast" that his squads are building momentum toward next month's NCAA championships in Canton, Ohio.
As has become tradition, Drury will send a limited squad of swimmers who've yet to make their NCAA cut times to the New South Conference meet in Cleveland, Miss., next week before hosting the "Last Chance Meet" on Feb. 26-27 at the Breech Pool.
To date, Drury has qualified 12 swimmers and one diver for the NCAA meet on the women's side, and 10 swimmers and four divers for the men's squad.
