Swimming and Diving

Grace finished 8th in the 100 back final. She will be back in action for the 50 free with her heat at 5am monday.

I don't really follow swimming and diving much but 11 titles in 12 years is unreal. Congrats yet again.

Since there seems to be some common sense now re: transgenderism and womens sports, and especially since Penn just agreed to revoke their trans-swimmer's records and send letters of apology to the women affected, I am hoping that either Coach Peresie himself or the new administration would decide to revise the Ocasek record board to reflect the real record holders for the 500 yard freestyle, 200 yard freestyle and 1650 freestyle events.  Maybe some of the "movers and shakers" on ZipsNation could quietly suggest to Coach Peresie or Dr. Goodrich that this be done.  It doesn't need a lot of fanfare, just a correction.  I hope common sense prevails at U of A too.

Did Akron have a trans swimmer? 

 

No- trans swimmer Lia Thomas swam in a meet at Akron and set a number of pool records- it is those recrods that Zippy-claws wants vacated.

 

Happy Fourth all of zipsnation!

Thanks ADZip. I too would want those records expunged.

Surprise surprise the zips are leading the MAC championships this weekend. I went to the event in 2019 when it was last in Akron and it was a blast. I plan on making it out on Saturday for the final session

I watched it tonight on ESPN+ for about an hour and it did appear like the crowd was having a great time.
