AMES, Iowa – The South Dakota State swimming and diving team sits in seventh place with 40 points on the men’s side through Day 1 at the Hawkeye Invitational.

“Good first day with season-best times on just a little rest,” said SDSU head coach Doug Humphrey. “We continue to get better and expect an even better day tomorrow.”

The first of the three-day invite consisted of 12 events, including a season-best performance for the men.

Women’s diving didn’t earn any points after Day 1 of competition as Minnesota currently leads the women’s side with 333 points, while the men’s side is paced by Iowa (251).
