COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State artistic swimming team hosts the Jessica C. Beck Memorial Invitational at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1 at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. The Buckeyes will host Michigan, Stanford and Wheaton in the meet.
Â
Admission for artistic swimming meets is free. Paid parking is available in the lots and garages surrounding the facility. Following the meet there will be a postgame meet and greet with the Buckeyes.
Â
Prior to the meet, the Buckeyes will recognize three senior members of the team – swimmers Marian Catahan and Hannah Heffernan and manager Maddi Almond. Catahan and Heffernan were members of the Buckeyes' overall national titles in 2022 and all three helped the team to the title in 2023.
Â
Meet Schedule
The teams will compete solo, duet, trio and team routines in Saturday's meet. The schedule is as follows:
Saturday's competition is named for Jessica Beck, a former Ohio State artistic swimmer who passed away in 2005 during her senior year at Ohio State. A three-time scholar-athlete, Academic All-America and All-Big Ten honoree, Beck was committed to her community and was described as the embodiment of the value of hard work. Beck's impact on the program is still seen to this day, over 15 years later, as student-athletes continue to honor her presence by leaving an open space for her in their traditional huddle during Carmen Ohio.
Â
Up Next
Ohio State will split squads next weekend with members of the team competing in a meet at Michigan Feb. 8 and others competing in the UIW Invitational in Texas.
