INDIANAPOLIS- UIndy head men's and women's swimming and diving coach Gary Kinkead announced the signing class of 2008-09 to join the Greyhounds beginning in the fall of the academic year.  All are looking to make an immediate impact for UIndy and strengthen squads that each finished in the top 12 at the national meet last season.

The group of 11 joins a Greyhound team that has consistently shown well at the NCAA Division II Championships as the men finished 12th while the women placed 11th this past season.

Additional signees will be announced prior to the season as the combined roster for the squads is nearing a healthy 65 student-athletes, providing quality depth in the ever-tough Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.  Both teams took third at the league meet in 2007-08.
