Will NAU and UNLV defend their titles, or will they other teams step up and take the crown? Below are some of the races to watch.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Men&#8217;s 200 IM<\/h2>\n<p>This race features defending champion Iegor Lytvenok of Grand Canyon University. Lytvenok set the Pool, WAC meet, and WAC Champ records last year on his way to a win, and looks to defend his title and re-break his own records. However the Wyoming pair of Adam Kalms and Ryan Nelson aren\u2019t far behind and will be looking to get their hand on the wall first. With Kalms having been just out-touched by Lytvenok last year, it is sure to be an intense race.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

He is within a second of the pool, WAC, and WAC meet records (set in 2012 and 2014 respectively). The heat also features seven swimmers under the NCAA \u2018B\u2019 cut.
