LAWRENCE, Kan. –
Kansas swimming and diving released its 2009-2010 schedule Tuesday afternoon. The schedule features four home duals, including home tilts against Big 12 North rivals Nebraska and Missouri.
Kansas opens the season on October 16 with the Big 12 Relays in Columbia, Mo. Following the Big 12 Relays, the Jayhawks will travel south to Fayetteville, Ark., to face two SEC foes, Arkansas and Florida, on October 24.
