The Owl swimmers host three opponents this Friday and Saturday in the fourth annual Rice Invitational Meet.
Joining the Owls at the fantastic Rice Aquatics Center Competition Pool are Arkansas, Houston and Incarnate Word in a two-day, 18 swim-event meet that gets under way at 4 pm on Friday (Oct. 23). There are then two more full sessions of the multi-team meet scheduled for Saturday (Oct. 24), which begin at 9:30 am and 2 pm.
