LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV men's and women's swimming teams will make the long-distance trip to Knoxville, Tenn. for the Tennessee Invitational Thursday (Nov. 18) through Saturday (Nov. 20) at Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center.
Each day's events begin with prelims at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. The finals are set for 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday, while finals on Saturday will feature the distance at 9Â a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET and remaining events' finals at 1:30 p.m. PT/4:30 p.m. ET.
The Rebels' men's squad, which checked in at No. 23 in the latest national top-25 poll, will face the host No.13 Volunteers, No. 7 Virginia, No. 24 Alabama, South Carolina and Carson-Newman. On the women's side, the Scarlet and Gray will compete against No. 7 Tennessee, top-ranked Virginia, No. 16 Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina and Carson-Newman.
Coming into the weekend, UNLV's women hold several of the Mountain West's fastest times with three swimmers leading the MW across multiple events this season. Among that group, super senior Kate Afanasyeva leads the MW in the 50 back (24.57) and 100 back (52.98), while seniors Gabby Lizzul's 200 fly (1:59.66), 400 IM (4:20.61) and 500 free (4:54.47), and Kristina Schneider's 50 free (23.01) and 100 free (50.83) rank first in the conference.
Following their Scarlet and Gray counterparts, the Rebel men have a quartet of swimmers sitting atop the WAC rankings in multiple specialties on the year. Junior Panos Bolanos' 50 back (22.11), 100 back (47.48) and 200 back (1:44.01), junior Cam Castro's 1000 free (9:27.01) and 1650 free (15:16.14), freshman Dominik Bujak's 200 IM (1:48.79) and 400 IM (3:50.58), as well as freshman Adnan Beji's 100 breast (54.37) and 200 Breast (1:57.65) times make up that list.
