University of Denver is a good Division I school. UCSD beats us all the time in the recruiting wars. Cal Baptists has a handful of super swimmers, and schools like Central Washington and Seattle will provide quality to the consolation races. It is a scramble for every spot we get. The PCSC championships are conducted with the exact same format as this year's Speedo Cup.
Competition begins with the women's preliminary races, followed by the men's preliminary races.
Afterwards, events alternate between the men's teams and women's teams in the finals. The women's team faced most of the aforementioned teams in last year's event, but also faced the University of San Diego, California State University, Northridge and Pepperdine University, who finished first, third and fourth respectively. Motekaitis said that he sees this upcoming championship as an enormous opportunity for his swimmers. This is a great chance for those who have already qualified for the nationals to get everything squared away. Having competed in the PCSCs, the Nationals won't seem as intimidating.
