ERIE, Pa. – The Gannon University men's and women's swim teams will travel to Cleveland for the annual Magnus Cup Meet hosted by Cleveland State on Thursday through Saturday at the Busbey Natatorium. The event will feature seven men's teams and 12 women's teams from multiple levels of the NCAA.
 
The event will feature two sessions per day with prelims each day at 9 a.m., prior to finals taking place each day at 5 p.m. Diving events will take place on Thursday and Friday at 1 p.m. View a complete schedule of events below.
 
Gannon returns to the Magnus Cup after an impressive performance at the event back in 2019. In 2019, Gannon standout Silvija Taraska (Wickliffe, Ohio/Lake Catholic) qualified for four A finals and set two program records during the event at Cleveland State. As a team, the Gannon women took eighth place at the event with 237.5 points and also recorded 42 PSAC or NCAA qualifying times. Taraska recorded a trio of NCAA B-cut times at the event in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle races. Taraska and Brynn Driscoll (Hilliard, Ohio/Hilliard Bradley) both turned in five PSAC qualifying times at the event.
 
The Gannon men finished fourth out of 10 programs at the 2019 Magnus Cup. In all, the Gannon men broke six program records during the event. The successful weekend also included 12 individual A-final qualifications, 39 PSAC qualifying times and seven NCAA cuts. Alex Deemer (Connoquenessing, Pa./Butler Area) and Andrew Beyer (Warren, Pa./Warren Area) each return to the Magnus Cup after recording four PSAC qualifying times each in 2019.
 
Following this week's three-day event at Cleveland State, Gannon swimming will be idle until Saturday, Dec. 4 at Indiana (Pa.).
