NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State swimming and diving team will host a virtual meet against Little Rock at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Horton Pool. Additionally, the Redbirds will celebrate the program's five seniors – Andie Bernhardt, Caroline Lecoeur, Tina Meyer, Jordan Peterson and Morgan Rosser.
"This senior class has been able to lead the team through a trying year and we're thankful for their time as Redbirds," head coach Caitlin Hamilton shared. "They've helped set a foundation by leading in the classroom and in the pool, and have embraced growth with a coaching change and a pandemic in their time here. We're hoping to end the regular season on a high note and looking forward to their final conference meet in a couple of weeks."
