OXFORD, Ohio-- The Miami women’s swimming and diving team goes for their 18th conference title this weekend at the Mid-American Conference Championships being held at the Michael H. Jones Natatorium in Ypsilanti, Michigan from Wednesday, Feb. 25, through Saturday, Feb. 28. On Wednesday, the 200 medley and 800 free relays will be ran. On the remaining days, the preliminary heats will start at 11 a.m. with the consolation and championship heats beginning at 7 p.m.
The RedHawks enter the MAC Championships after being chosen by the league office at the beginning of the season. Miami comes in with a 7-2 overall dual meet record this season and a perfect 4-0 record in MAC dual meet competition. Miami’s only losses were to Purdue and Ohio State in mid-October. Since then, the RedHawks have been impressive, winning five straight meets entering this weekend’s competition.
Miami last won the MAC title during the 2012-13 season, making it the 17th championship in team history. Last season, Akron came out on top.
The cost of attendance will be $7 for a single session or $25 for the entire championship for adults. Students K-12 can purchase tickets for $5 per session or $15 for an all-sessions pass, while MAC students with a valid ID and children five and under will be given free admission. Doors will open to the public one hour prior to the first event of each session, with ticket sales beginning at 5 p.m. on Wednesday night.
