The Aggies (2-0) are coming off a big win over the University of Texas at the Big 12 Relays two weeks ago as well as a pair of season-opening dual meet wins over Big 12 rivals Missouri and Nebraska in Lincoln.
A&M's meet against Oregon State (3-3) will kick-off the Aggies' third annual Swimming & Diving Alumni Weekend. More than 60 former swimmers and divers and their families are scheduled to be in attendance at this weekend's festivities. For more information on the events scheduled, contact Tia Buchanan at 458-3302 or tbuchanan@athletics.tamu.edu.
Friday will be just the second time that the Aggies and Beavers have faced each other in head-to-head action. A&M earned a 157.5-104.5 win over Oregon State on Oct. 28 of last season in Corvallis. The Aggies grabbed wins in nine of 14 events, including a pair of victories by Big 12 Co-Swimmer of the Year Codie Hansen (Arlington).
Oregon State comes into the meet ranked in the top 25 for the first time in school history. They are also a perfect 3-0 in non-PAC-10 dual meets this season.
The Beavers are led by sophomore backstroke/butterfly specialist Saori Haruguchi. Harugiuchi has already notched 14 individual wins this season in dual meets with top times of 56.25 in the 100 back, 55.75 in the 100 fly, and 2:01.67 in the 200 fly.
Admission to the A&M-OSU meet is free of charge. The 12th Man Team Rewards Program will be in attendance to stamp/scan its members as well.
