MISHAWAKA, Ind. - The Davenport University men's and women's swimming and diving programs opened their 2022-23 campaigns on Saturday at Bethel's Quad Meet in the Elkhart Aquatic Center. Both the men and women went 3-0 against the likes of Bethel, Aquinas and Olivet Nazarene while Richard Polasek (pictured) earned an NCAA "B" cut and school record in the 100 breast with a time of 54.90.

"We had a great showing today," said head coach, Justin Vasquez. "We are ahead of where we were last year at this time so it was an exciting start to the season."

Next up on the schedule for Davenport is the Hillsdale Tri-Meet on Saturday, Oct. 8 at noon against the host Chargers and Indiana Wesleyan.
