Swimming-Bobcats stumble, finish sixth at H2Okie Invitational

By Paul Holden | Nov. 23, 2014

Ohio’s struggles in the pool continued this past weekend, as the Bobcats finished in sixth place out of a field of seven at the H2Okie Invitational in Christiansburg, Virginia.The Bobcats finished the three-day meet over 1,000 points behind host and victor Virginia Tech in their final competition of 2014. Ohio’s finish is two spots worse than when it placed fourth at the event last year.The Hokies dominated the weekend, finishing atop the pack at the end of all three days of competition and went into the Saturday, the final day of competition, with a 422-point lead on No. 24 Alabama in second place. Despite two top-10 finishes on Saturday, the Bobcats couldn’t improve on their sixth-place position and finished the meet in that spot with 270 points overall. Sophomore Laura Dawson finished in fifth place in the 200-yard backstroke and redshirt junior Bianca Hauzer took eighth place in the 1,650-yard freestyle.On Friday, senior Tori Bagan set a new school record in a 100-yard breaststroke prelim by finishing with a time of 1:02.75.The Bobcats only finished in the top-ten in six events all weekend and the strongest element for Ohio, the medley relay team consisting of junior Addison Ferguson, senior Tori Bagan, Dawson and junior Haley Clark took home two of the top-ten finishes. Ohio’s biggest problem, depth, continued to and it them potential points. The Bobcats missed out on points throughout the weekend, especially in diving where the team only has one healthy diver. The small roster of Ohio and some of the other teams that competed in the events lead to some events, such as the platform diving event, having only athletes from Virginia Tech and Alabama competing.The Bobcats will be getting extended rest and time away from the road as the H2Okie Invitational was the last event for the team until Jan. 9. Ohio hopes to continue to get healthy and improve on performing for an entire meet as they have just four meets left before the Mid-American Conference Championships. The Bobcats had their worst performance at the MAC Championships in 10 years last season.Rest and time off could help the Bobcats refocus and rebuild their roster to full strength so it has enough healthy student-athletes to field all events.@PAULHOLDEN33ph553412@ohio.edu
