The East Carolina University swim and dive team has been preparing for the new year, and now look to open up the season on a high note hosting meets in Minges Natatorium this upcoming Friday and the following Friday.
Both teams came off seasons which did not result in either team hoisting an American Athletic Conference Championship trophy. Before last season, the men’s team had won the conference championship three straight times and looked to four-peat, but fell short to the University of Cincinnati 906-795. The women’s team finished in third place at the conference championship, losing to the University of Houston and Cincinnati.
