PROVO, Utah – Post season meets for the BYU swimming and diving team begin with the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships this Wednesday through Saturday.

The men’s and women’s swimming championships are held at East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, Calif., while the diving championships are held at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena, Calif.

Two-time champion Hailey Campbell looks to defend her championship titles in the 100 and 200 back in her senior MPSF championship meet. Junior diver Nicholas Suder is the conference champion in both the men’s 1- and 3-meter. He looks for back-to-back titles this year for the Cougars.

In the 50 free, senior captain Jordan Fletcher currently holds the MPSF top time with a time of 20.33. Freshman Lucas Aquino has a top time of 1:46.54 in the 200 fly. And junior Hayden Palmer holds the top times in the 400 IM with a swim of 3:45.38 and the 200 IM with a swim of 1:47.96.

Last year, the Cougars broke four school records and three meet records with conference championship wins. Both the men and women look to reclaim title as conference champions after dropping first place and taking third last season.
