MANSFIELD, Texas --- The Texas A&M men's and women's swimming teams will host squads from all over the country Thursday through Saturday in the annual Art Adamson Invitational, which will be contested at the Mansfield ISD Natatorium.
The Aggies' annual fall invitational meet is named for legendary Texas A&M swim coach Art Adamson, who coached the Aggies for more than 35 years. Adamson was one of the longest tenured coaches in Texas A&M athletics history, coaching the Aggies from 1934 to 1970. During his time at Texas A&M, Adamson coached All-Americans and Olympians, while leading the Aggies to multiple conference team championships. He was inducted in the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame in 1970, as well as the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame and the Texas Swimming Hall of Fame.
The Aggie swimmers will be facing off against competitors from SMU, TCU, Arizona State, LSU, Incarnate Word and Boise State (women only).
While the swimmers are in Mansfield, the Aggie divers will be competing at the Mizzou Invitational Thursday through Saturday at the Mizzou Aquatic Center in Columbia, Mo.
