The postseason is upon us for the winter sports, and I'm hoping we can add on to the Fall collection. If you recall, we won in both women's soccer and men's cross country.
Starting later today, the men's and women's swimming & diving teams will have their turn at UMBC, while the indoor track & field squads begin on Friday at the BU Track and Tennis Center.
Check out this preview from BU Today on the two events. Women's swimming is seeking its third-straight title, while the women in track look to capture their fifth title in six seasons.
Fans can follow the live swimming results from UMBC by clicking here. Track & field information can be found here.
Now we just need to add bikes and we can hold a triathlon competition.
Hockey and basketball are just around the corner, but hopefully, these teams will get us off on the right foot!
On a final note, last week there was a feature article written about senior diver Bailey O'Brien, who learned recently that she has stage IV metastic melanoma. All four teams will be thinking about her this weekend.
To help Bailey and her family with medical costs, the swim team has started the Bailey O’Brien Fund.
