BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The Virginia Tech swimming and diving teams will take part in their first dual meet of the season on Saturday, as the H₂Okies welcome NC State to the Christiansburg Aquatic Center for a 1 p.m. contest.

Last week, the H₂Okies kicked off their season at home, as they welcome five schools to the CAC for the 2013 Virginia Tech Annual Margaret Soulen Gilbert Breast Cancer Awareness Swim/Dive Meet.

Tech put an early stamp on the season, as the men and women combined to go 5-1 against their competition, while the men made history with their first-ever dual meet victory over North Carolina.

The H₂Okies dominated the diving events, as senior Ryan Hawkins and junior Kaylea Arnett combined to sweep the 1-meter and 3-meter events.

A pair of freshman also had stellar collegiate debuts, as Jan Switkowski and Maggie Gruber combined for five gold medals in the season-opener.

NC State started its season two weeks ago at the All-North Carolina Invitational, where the Wolfpack captured first-place finishes for both the men and women.

In last year’s competition, the H₂Okies earned a tie on the men’s side, while the women fell to NC State, 160-140.

Events will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, beginning with the 200 Medley Relay. A complete schedule of events can be found below.

Admission to all events is free to the public.
