The AAC Championship will take place from February 18-21 in Greensboro, North Carolina at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.\u00a0Former AAC powerhouse and previous conference champion Louisville\u00a0has migrated to the ACC\u00a0allowing for new teams to seize\u00a0the spotlight. On the women\u2019s meet, Cincinnati, Connecticut, East Carolina, Houston, Southern Methodist, and Tulane will have a six-way battle. The men\u2019s meet is just two teams less with Cincinnati, Connecticut, East Carolina, and Southern Methodist competing. With the fresh competition, it is any team\u2019s meet.<\/p>\n

In the second year of the American Athletic Conference<\/a>‘s existence, this handful of races has the potential to make AAC history.<\/p>\n

WOMEN\u2019S 500 FREE<\/h2>\n

Cincinnati\u2019s Jackie Keire, the reining conference champion, is seeded first with a 4:46.27. Keire competed at the 2014 NCAA Championships in the 100, 200, and 500 freestyles. Right behind Keire is SMU\u2019s Ursa Bezan at 4:46.67. Bezan competed for Slovenian Olympic team in 2012 and competed with the Mustangs on the 2014 NCAA 800 freestyle relay. Both women are in the lead by almost four seconds in the conference. Keire is a good competitor and will be on the hunt for\u00a0another conference title. Bezan was also a 2014 AAC Championship finalist in the 500 freestyle. This is a race you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

MEN\u2019S 200 FREE RELAY<\/h2>\n

The awe and wonder of the ridiculous speed in a 200 free relay makes this race one of the most exciting events at any conference championship.\u00a0Adding East Carolina into the mix will make even more waves, as they currently own the second fastest conference time (1:21.78). The Pirates\u2019 Nikola Simic currently has the AAC top time in the 50 free at a 20.20, and will be a major contributor to ECU\u2019s freestyle relays. All four of the men\u2019s teams are seeded within a second of each other.<\/p>\n

MEN\u2019S 1650 FREE<\/h2>\n

Thus far, five swimmers have raced under the 16-minute barrier. Top seed, Cincinnati\u2019s Cody Green swam an impressive 15:40.85 at the Miami Invitational dropping from 15:57.65 at last season\u2019s conference meet. Right behind Green is Cincinnati\u2019s standout newcomer, Chris Bready. Seeded at 15:42.92, the freshman will make a statement at his first conference championship based off of in-season performances. UConn\u2019s top contender Michael Lennon (seeded with a 15:54.44) swam to a second place finish at the 2014 AAC Championships, touching the wall at 15:25.38. The top three competitors will swim races of their own but we might see a\u00a0little \u201ccat and mouse\u201d game.<\/p>\n

WOMEN\u2019S 200 FLY<\/h2>\n

Leading the conference is ECU’s Bailie Monahan with the fastest conference swim at 1:59.88. Following in second is UConn\u2019s Sophie Nothnagle clocking in at 2:00.85. Monahan leads a pack of ECU Pirates including Julie Lajoie (2:00.85) and Danielle Morrin (2:01.03). This top four group of girls will have a solid race down to the last 25 yards. It\u2019s all about who can bring it home.<\/p>\n

WOMEN\u2019S 400 FREE RELAY<\/h2>\n

This race could easily be a determining factor when scoring for the conference champion. SMU and Tulane are close with under a second to separate them. Tulane is the AAC newcomer ready to make a statement seeded second in the conference at 3:23.93. Green Wave key sprinter, Mia Schachter, owns the fastest 100 freestyle time at Tulane with a 49.85.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
