EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With just over a month to prepare, the University of Evansville men’s swimming and diving team will travel to Carbondale, Ill. for the Mid-American Conference Championships, which are set to begin on Thursday.
 
The action goes from Thursday through Saturday and begins each day with prelims at 11 a.m.  The finals are slated to begin at 7 p.m. each night with an awards ceremony taking place on Saturday evening at 9:25 p.m.  A full schedule of events is below.
 
Evansville last hit the pool on February 8, taking a win at Indiana by a final of 179-118.  Prior to that, UE fell by a 156-72 final at SIU and faced Saint Louis in its home finale on January 26, falling, 148-83.  The match at SIU saw Alex Seward take a win in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 51.30.  Ashton Bishop was also victorious, earning the win in the 100-yard freestyle.  He checked in with a time of 47.11
 
The duo looks to improve on last year’s finish in Oxford, Ohio as the squad took seventh with a 98-point effort.  Seward took 5^th place in the 100-butterfly while posting a 10^th in the 200-fly.
