Rachel Bernhardt<br \/>\n<\/strong>As one of two CAA student-athletes to advance to NCAAs last season, the Drexel senior is ready for another fast meet. She enters the meet as the top seed in both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes with NCAA B cuts in both. Last year, the CAA Swimmer of the Year became the first Dragon woman to ever win a conference event\u00a0and is the heavy favorite to defend her\u00a0titles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Corie Morton<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Towson junior will seek to claim the conference distance crown as she\u2019s the top seed in both the 500 and 1650. She has improved tremendously this year; last year, she didn\u2019t final in the 500. In 2016, she finished tenth in the mile and she enters the meet with a time that\u2019s 24 seconds faster than her performance a year ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Alexa Kutch<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Drexel rookie is sure to make an impact at her first college championships as she\u2019s the top seed in both backstroke events. In the longer race, she\u2019s three seconds ahead of the rest of the field and already under the previous league and meet record. The freshman will be the crucial leadoff leg as both of Drexel\u2019s medley relays are seeded first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Meagan Johnson<br \/>\n<\/strong>UNCW\u2019s Johnson enters the meet with faster seed times than her performances she swam last year. The sophomore is the first seed in the 400 IM after finishing 10<sup>th<\/sup> in the event in 2016.\u00a0She\u2019s also seeded third in the 500 free and second in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Olivia Lehman<br \/>\n<\/strong>Last year, the James Madison diver took gold on 1m and silver on 3m en route to being named the CAA Diver of the Year. The senior has already earned weekly conference honors four times this season and is the heavy favorite to sweep both diving events. Look for some impressive performances from the 2016 NCAA qualifier.<\/p>\n<h2>5 Men to Watch:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Joseph Eiden<br \/>\n<\/strong>The William and Mary senior is the defending CAA champion in the 200 free, and although the second seed, will be aiming to reclaim his title. The sprinter holds the top seed times in both the 50 and 100 frees and is a key component of the Tribe\u2019s relays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Jack Saunderson<br \/>\n<\/strong>Last year\u2019s CAA Rookie Swimmer of the Year, Saunderson returns as the top seed in both butterfly events. After setting a new meet and league record during his freshman campaign, the Towson sophomore is the heavy favorite to repeat as champion in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Will Ryan<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ryan, a senior at UNCW, is the top seed in both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes. After finishing second in both events in 2016, he\u2019ll be looking to claim the titles as his own. He\u2019ll be a leader for his team as the top returning point scorer for the Seahawks as he closes out his senior season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Ian Bidwell<br \/>\n<\/strong>Bidwell is sure to play a key role in William and Mary\u2019s quest to three-peat. The freshman enters the meet as the top seed in both the 400 IM and the 1650, as well as holds the second seed in the 500. He has already achieved an NCAA B standard in the individual medley and isn\u2019t too far off in the mile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Jason Arthur<br \/>\n<\/strong>Another freshman to watch out for, the Drexel rookie has already earned three CAA weekly awards this season. He\u2019s the second seed in both the 200 back and the 200 IM and the third seed in the 100 back. Look for Arthur to make a splash at his first collegiate championship meet.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2017 Colonial Athletic Association men\u2019s and women\u2019s Swimming and Diving Championships take place February 22-25 at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center.
