HOUSTON, Texas – The Aggies are set to compete in the Big West Conference Championships for swimming and diving, hosted in Houston's CRWC Natatorium for a thrilling four-day stretch of racing.
 
Previously participating in the MPSF league for the last fifteen years, the Ags are determined to try their hand against some familiar competition. The team will travel to the Midwest to face off against Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, Hawai'i, and Cal State Bakersfield from Wednesday, February 12th until Saturday, February 15th.
 
This meet is considered the revitalization of swimming and diving for the Big West Conference, as this will mark the first championships hosted since 2010. Hoping to shake the dust off the crown, the Aggies seek to replenish their spoils after acquiring the last Big West Conference title back in 2010.
 
And for the first time, the swim and dive teams will be competing in unity at the same pool – a rarity since the MPSF era. "After quite a few years of having the Diving portion of conference separated from the swimming, it will be great to be back together at the same facility' says the head diving coach Phil Tonne.
 
"It really makes us feel more a part of the team as a whole. All the divers are healthy and feeling good about our preparation, especially after doing more tower training this year which should help us finish strong."
 
It always helps to have more Aggie voices cheering at the natatorium as well, as Davis is the only program not entering a men's team into the championships. With the conference broken up across the span of four days, the Ags are in for a long stretch of racing through Saturday.
