ST. PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are set to host the third annual Grace Goblirsch Memorial Invitational on Saturday at the Vic Gustafson Pool.

Gustavus will take part in one more competition before the new year, as it travels to the University of Minnesota to swim in the Jean Freeman Invite December 2-3. The Gusties then take flight to Florida for their week long training trip that runs from December 27 through January 3.
