CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Eagles head to the SAC Championships in the Mecklenburg County Aquatics Center.

Carson-Newman swim is nearing the end of the 2022-2023 season as the team heads to the SAC Conference Championships for a four-day battle for the conference title this week. The conference championships will begin Wednesday, Feb. 8 and continue through Saturday, Feb. 11.

Prior to this year, Carson-Newman swim was part of the Bluegrass Mountain Conference before being welcomed into the South Atlantic Conference in 2022. The competition in this year's SAC Championships will look like years prior as the Bluegrass Mountain Conference encompassed other SAC teams like Wingate, Lenoir-Rhyne, and Catawba throughout its 24-year contribution to the sport of swimming.

The 200-yard individual medley prelims, 50-yard freestyle prelims, and 1000-yard freestyle prelims will kick off the brand-new SAC Men's and Women's Swimming Championships at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 8. Subsequent days will begin at 10:00 a.m. until the conclusion of the meet with 400-yard freestyle relay at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Carson-Newman men's and women's swim will go head-to-head with Catawba, Emory & Henry, Lenoir-Rhyne, Mars Hill, and Wingate in competition for the conference title.

Both the Eagles' men's and women's teams were recently ranked in the top-25 NCAA Division II teams. Carson-Newman men's swim earned the No. 20 rank in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) NCAA Division II top 25 polls. The men received a score of 74 points in the vote. The women ranked No. 14 with 148 votes in the CSCAA DII Women's Poll.

Looking forward, the Eagles will race for a conference championship title beginning this Wednesday, Feb. 8 in the Mecklenburg County Aquatics Center in Charlotte, N.C.
