BOSTON, Mass. -- Fourteen members of the Simmons Swimming and Diving team will travel to the Upper Valley Aquatics Center on Friday, February 8th to compete in the 2013 New England Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Association Championships over the weekend.
The Sharks have entries in 22 of the 23 events and will enter seven relays during the weekend, including the 200 Freestyle Relay, which is seeded second. The top 24 finishers in each event will qualify to swim in the evening finals and the Sharks are well positioned to make the evening cut.

"I have high hopes for our team. Everyone has been very focused in training these past few weeks and their individual and team goals are very clear. If everyone races to their potential, we'll come home Sunday night with some exciting news," said Head Coach Mindy Williams.
