The 2009 Mid-American Conference Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships will be held February 18 through February 21 in Nashville, Tenn. The competition will be held in conjunction with the Sun Belt Championships. Events will be staged at the Nashville Centennial Sportsplex and hosted by Western Kentucky University.
Teams competing for the MAC Championship are defending title holder Eastern Michigan, along with Ball State, Buffalo, and Miami. The Sun Belt will be represented by Denver, Evansville, Florida Atlantic, Missouri State, New Orleans, Southern Illinois, and Western Kentucky.
The men’s combined meet will be scored as one meet, but student-athletes and teams from each conference will be recognized separately. The top three (3) finishers from each conference will be awarded medal and the top teams from each conference will be named their respective conference champion.
For the men’s scoring, twenty-four (24) places will be scored for individual events on the following scale: 32-28-27-26-25-24-23-22-20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1; and to eight places for the relay events on the following scale: 40-34-32-30-28-26. According to NCAA scales.
Results will be posted daily on the MAC web site.
