Off the Blocks
1.
The 2011-12 edition of the Tennessee Lady Vol swimming and diving team
will begin its schedule with a trip to Wilmington, N.C., for a pair of
meets. The action begins on Friday when the team faces off against the
Seahawks of UNC-Wilmington.
2. It will be the fi rst time the
schools have met, along with the fi rst time since 2001 that Tennessee
will not open the season at home or in the state of Kentucky.
3.
Now in his seventh season at Rocky Top, Lady Vol head swimming coach
Matt Kredich has had much success in season opening duals, as he holds
a 5-1 record in regular-season openers.
4. In last season's dual
meet opener, the Lady Vols overwhelmed visiting Arkansas by winning 13
of the 16 events, en route to a 171-129 win over the Razorbacks at the
Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center.
5. Tennessee returns
six All-Americans this season. Five current Lady Vols claimed A-A
accolades in 2011, as the Big Orange finished 12th at the NCAA
Championships.
