Men’s Swimming & Diving Heads to NCAA Meet

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Seniors Daniel Helm and Frank Greeff are set for their final NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships March 26-28 at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center Natatorium in Iowa City, Iowa.

Preliminary heats begin at 11 a.m. CT, Thursday-Saturday, while finals are set to start at 7 p.m. CT. Hawkeyesports.com will stream each prelim session as well as Thursday’s finals. Friday and Saturday finals will be available on WatchESPN.com.

The two individual qualifiers along with relay participants Alex Linge, Logan Rysemus and Silas Dejean will compete at NCAA’s over the next there days. The team of Greeff, Rysemus, Linge and Dejean set the school record in the 400-medley at the conference championships.

“From the relay perspective we just have to start out strong,” LSU swimming coach Dave Geyer said. “Frank’s best events are toward the end of the meet and I know he will build up to it. It’s a smaller group than last week but we have a good chance to score.”

Greeff will compete in the 100 fly and 200 fly after qualifying with times of 46.11 and 1:43.15 respectively. The South Africa native is the school-record holder in the 200 fly and owns the third-fastest 100 fly time. Greeff won silver in the 100 fly at SEC Championships this year and is a two-time NCAA Honorable Mention All-American in the 200 fly.

Helm qualified for all three events at NCAA Zones earlier this month. The senior out of Beaverton, Oregon shined at SEC Championships with silver medals on one-meter and platform.

“I know Daniel is excited and focused for his final NCAA’s,” LSU diving coach Doug Shaffer said. “He had a really successful SEC Championships and it was a reflection of his hard work and dedication he’s put into it. It’s now time to go out there and give it all he has.”

A full recap will be available on lsusports.net at the conclusion of each day. For more information and updates on LSU Swimming and Diving please visit LSUsports.net, ‘like’ us on Facebook at LSU Swimming and Diving or follow us on Twitter @LSUswimdive.
