Beck, Schulte represent Bryant at U.S. Nationals
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Senior Graham Beck (Danvers, Mass.) and freshman Ben Schulte (Mermaid Beach, Australia) will represent the Bryant University men's swimming and diving team at the 2014 AT&T Winter National Championships held on Friday and Saturday (Dec. 5-6) at the Greensboro Aquatics Complex in Greensboro, N.C.
"This is such a great experience to swim at the national meet," head coach Katie Cameron said. "There will be over 800 athletes and a few American record-holders."
Beck and Schulte will represent the Bulldogs in the 100 and 200 breast events. The two swimmers are both enjoying fine starts to the 2014-15 season. Beck, the 2014 MAAC champion in the 200 breast, has won the 100 breast three times this year and the 200 breast four times. He enters the national meet with seed times of 2:02.65 and 56.40.
Schulte has burst onto the scene this winter after swimming for Guam in the London Olympics. He is coming off a dominant performance at the Harold Anderson Invitational where he set meet records in the 100 and 200 breast with times of 57.73 and 2:06.56. It was the first time Schulte swam the events this season.
A live webcast of the entire meet is available here. NBC will air exclusive national television coverage on Sunday, Dec. 7 from 12:30-1:30 EST.
