Establishing an early presence by sweeping both the 800 free and 200 medley relays, the Cougars posted times that would prove competitive in even more challenging conferences across the nation. In winning two polar events, the Cougars demonstrated versatility that proved lethal as they put together a most cohesive effort in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>They were not alone, however, as teams gave spectators a small, exciting taste of what was to come throughout the night. SMU junior\u00a0<strong>Erin Trahan <\/strong>dropped a 22.62 split in the fly leg of the medley relay, placing her in an elite group of butterflyers while earning her the fastest fly split of the meet by far. Perhaps the dark horse of the competition, SMU managed to accumulate points quickly with an impressive showing from its divers and consistent, fast swimming.<\/p>\n<p>The first night of the meet saw a mosaic of teams on the podium, indicating just the beginning of a highly competitive, close conference championship.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theamerican.org\/sports\/2018\/12\/12\/2019SwimDiveChampCentral.aspx\">Meet Landing Page<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AACPsychSheet.pdf\">Psych Sheet<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iunat.iupui.edu\/content\/Other-Information\/LiveResults\/index.htm\">Live Results<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>\n<pre> Combined Team Scores - Through Event 6                      \r\n \r\n  1.
