COLUMBIA, Ky. – The Blue Raider men's and women's swimming teams are home for the second time this season on Saturday morning to host Mid-South Conference rival Cumberlands (Ky.).

Lindsey Wilson last competed on September 26-27 in the Dr. Dillery Fall Frenzy, placing first on the men's side and second on the women's out of six teams.

Sophomore Sergio Ybarra claimed three individual victories in the 400-yard individual medley, 500-yard freestyle, and 1,650-yard freestyle, and finished runner-up in the 200-yard freestyle. His performance earned him men's Swimmer of the Week honors from the conference on September 29.

Last season, Ybarra won the 500 and 1,000-yard freestyle races when Lindsey Wilson traveled to Williamsburg, Kentucky. He also set his personal-best time in the 200-yard butterfly – 1:59.13.

Fellow sophomore Nathalie Medina went four-for-four in her individual events during the Fall Frenzy, touching the wall first in the 200, 500, and 1,650-yard freestyles, and the 200-yard butterfly. Junior Natalia Gorska swept the 100 and 200-yard backstroke, plus the 50-yard freestyle, and anchored all four of the Blue Raiders' winning relays.

Cumberlands is fresh off a sweep of Shawnee State (Ohio) on Friday afternoon. Juliana Lopez Morales – last season's Mid-South runner-up in the 1,650-yard freestyle – collected a pair of wins in the 100 and 200-yard freestyles, while Adam Geddis paced the Patriot men with victories in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard backstroke, and 200-yard medley relay.

Saturday's meet begins at 10:30 a.m. CT inside the Holloway Natatorium. Live coverage provided by the Lindsey Wilson Sports Network.

Prior to the start of the meet, the Blue Raider swimming program will recognize two of its winter graduates, Kelsey Summers and Alejandra Martinez.
