Zips Swimming and Diving Seeks Three-peat at 2016 MAC Championships
AKRON, Ohio – The Akron Zips' swimming and diving program's journey for its third-consecutive Mid-American Conference Championship all comes down to a four-day event which is set to begin on Wednesday, Feb. 24-27, at Bowling Green State University.
Four short years ago, when the senior class were incoming freshman, the Zips found themselves at the bottom of the MAC and struggling to stay afloat. From there on out, the Akron swimming and diving team has been a force to be reckoned with.
Head coach Brian Peresie was hired in May of 2013, after previously being the head coach at Malone University for two years and a long time Ohio University assistant before that.
