The meet is being hosted at BGSU&#8217;s Cooper Natatorium.<\/p>\n<p>The 2015 MAC champions were the University of Akron, coached by Head Coach <strong>Brian Peresie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with the <strong>200 Medley Relay<\/strong> Wednesday evening, Akron is seeded first in a time of 1:40.02 ahead of Eastern Michigan University\u2019s 1:40.97. Akron was the MAC Champion in this event last year and will look to repeat the win this year.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Wednesday evening is the <strong>800 Freestyle Relay<\/strong>. Seeded first is the University of Buffalo, the 2015 MAC Champion, followed closely by Akron and Bowling Green. Last year in this event, the relay came down to the final leg between Buffalo and Akron, with <strong>Jess Powers<\/strong> of Buffalo swimming a time of 1:46.77 to get the win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>500 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Lauren Comer,<\/strong> the senior from Toledo comes into this event with the fastest time of a 4:50.64. However, Jess Powers, the senior from Buffalo will look to challenge Comer to repeat her title from last year\u2019s championships. After Comer and Powers, the field is very packed. Look to see swimmers challenging for third, fourth, and fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Top Four\u00a0going into the event<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Comer (4:50.64)<\/li>\n<li>Powers (4:51.04)<\/li>\n<li>Spelman (4:55.97)<\/li>\n<li>Potinger (4:55.97)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>200 Individual Medley <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Madison Myers<\/strong>, the freshman from Akron will look to swim for her first MAC title. Myers comes into the event almost a two full seconds ahead of her teammate <strong>Paloma Marreo<\/strong>. However, <strong>Stephanie Lemire<\/strong>, a Junior from Miami of Ohio, could look to challenge in this event. After the Akron teammates and Lemire, the psych sheet shows a bunch of swimmers sitting around the 2:03 mark.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Myers (2:00.18)<\/li>\n<li>Marrero (2:02.05)<\/li>\n<li>Lemire (2:02.14)<\/li>\n<li>Wohlert (2:03.19)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>50 Freestyle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sophomore <strong>Megan Burns<\/strong> from Buffalo will look to defend her title in this event.

Last year they won in a time of 1:31.22 and will look to better their time 1:31.54 from earlier this year. However, if Miami of Ohio has a great race, they could challenge Akron and snap their streak.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>400 Individual Medley <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This year\u2019s 400 I.M. loks to be an exciting race. With the top three all within a second of each other, the race could go to anyone!
