Welcome to the 2018 Mid-American Conference Men’s Swimming and Diving Championship. Each of our 23 conference championship events is a celebration of our institutions and a showcase of the talents of our students and coaches. Few sports require the sacrifice, dedication and hard work that the students participating in this championship live on a daily basis. Let me encourage you to support your team in a positive fashion. Our goal is to provide our MAC family — students, coaches, administrators, parents and fans — a wonderful experience during your visit to Oxford, Ohio. Inside our event program you will find a team-by-team look at the MAC men’s swimming and Dr. Jon A. diving programs. I hope you will take the time to learn more about the many amazing students Steinbrecher competing this weekend. Thank you for attending this championship event. Sincerely, Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher Commissioner Mid-American Conference Dear Mid-American Conference coaches, student-athletes and fans: On behalf of Miami University and our Department of Athletics, I want to welcome you to the Corwin M. Nixon Aquatic Center for the 2018 Mid-American Conference Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships. We hope you enjoy your time at Miami University and in Oxford this week. We are proud to provide a championship atmosphere at Miami University and hope you display sportsmanship while enjoying the exciting competition over the next four days. Our goal of Graduating Champions extends to everyone and we hope that is reflected in your experience this week. Our staff is happy to assist you should you have any questions or concerns.
