About the Cardinals
Last time out, the No. 8 Louisville men picked up a 178-122 win over then-ranked No. 17 Missouri, taking the top spot in all but three events. Acosta (500/1000 free), Harting (100/200 fly), Evgenii Somov (100/200 breast) and newcomer Bartosz Piszczorowicz (100/200 free) each won both of their individual events to lead the Cardinals to victory.
The No. 16 Louisville women defeated then-ranked No. 19 Missouri 163-137, led by double event wins from Cattermole (500/1000 free), Kendzior (100/200 back) and Mariia Astashkina (100/200 breast).
The Cardinals also have a strong presence in the top-10 national rankings, led by Comerford with the third-ranked times in the 100 (46.96) and 200 free (1:42.79), No. 6 time in the 100 fly (50.94) and No. 7 time in the 50 free (21.88). In the butterfly events, Grace Oglesby holds the fourth-ranked times in both the 100 (50.75) and 200 (1:52.64) distances. All five of Louisville's relays rank among the top-10 led by the No. 4 400 medley relay (3:30.55).
