ECU Set To Compete In AAC Championships
February 21, 2024 | Women's Swimming and Diving
GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's swimming and diving team returns to action this week when it participates in the 2024 American Athletic Conference Championships in Dallas, Texas. The four-day event, which will run from Feb. 22 through Feb. 25, will be hosted by SMU at the Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center and Barr McMillion Natatorium.
Â
The Pirates, who sport a 10-1 overall record on the year in dual meet action, will compete against Florida Atlantic, FIU, North Texas, Rice, SMU and Tulane. Events will be scored through the top 16 competitors in each event.Â
Â
New to this year will be the addition of the Team Diving Event, which will take place during the final session of the meet on Sunday evening. Each school that competes in the event will have three competitors who will have two dives each. Each team will have a pair of dives on each apparatus (1-meter, 3-meter and platform) and the points from the event will count double of an individual event, similar to swimming relays.
