Cougars on verge of conference title after extending lead at AAC Championships

Houston extended its lead on the third day of the American Athletic Conference title meet, winning four more titles at the AAC Championships to total 644.5 points, more than 200 points ahead of the second-place team.

If the Cougars hold on to its lead after Saturday, the meet’s final days, they will be crowned AAC champions for the fourth consecutive year.

Junior Katie Higgins got things going by setting the program record in the 100 fly prelims with a time of 53.67. In the final, Higgins swam a 53.77, which was good for third place.
