Swimming eyes conference title three-peat

The women’s swimming team starts its long season Saturday with its eyes on a third-straight American Athletic Conference Championship.

On top of a three-peat, the Cougars want to qualify more people for the NCAA Championships after it sent three swimmers last season, two of whom returned to the team.

“To be top 25 at the NCAA Championships is the milestone that we’re shooting for. We gotta get more kids there. The big goal is to get points on the board,” said head coach Ryan Wochomurka.

Swimmers qualify individually for the NCAA tournament and earn points for their school by placing high in events.
