MINNEAPOLIS – Golden Gophers past, present and future are headed to Hungary to represent their home countries at the 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022, June 18 through July 3.
Sarah Bacon, who recently finished her sixth-year senior season at Minnesota, will compete in diving for the United States, while rising sophomore swimmer Bar Soloveychik is representing Israel and incoming freshman Viviana Del Angel Peniche is diving for Mexico.
A five-time NCAA champion, including on the 3-meter this past season, Bacon is scheduled to compete in two events for Team USA. First up for her is the 1-meter springboard on June 29, followed by the 3-meter springboard. The 3-meter prelims and semifinals will take place on July 1 with the finals set for the following day.
Del Angel Peniche, a native of Veracruz, Mexico, will be competing both individually and synchronized on platform. The 10-meter platform will hold prelims and semifinals on June 26 with the finals to follow on June 27. She is then scheduled to team up with Samantha Jimenez Santos on the 10-meter synchro on June 30.
Soloveychik is currently scheduled to compete both individually and on the 4x200m free relay for Israel. The first event for the 2022 Honorable Mention All-American will be the 400m freestyle on June 18. Two days later, he'll take to the pool again for the 800m free. Prelims will take place June 20 with the finals on June 21. Soloveychik will then close out his competition on June 23 as he swims as part of the relay squad.
The Olympic Channel and Peacock will carry the finals of each swimming event, while the FINA Facebook page will stream the swimming prelims and the diving competitions. Results will be available on FINA's official website. A full schedule can be found below.
In other international events, incoming freshman Summer Schmit competed at the Madeira 2022 Para Swimming World Championships, June 12-18. She captured bronze in the 400m Freestyle S9 and finished fourth in the 200m Individual Medley SM9, and ninth in the 100m Breaststroke SB9 and 100m Butterfly S9.
