Lewisville, TEXAS – Western State Colorado University women's swimming and diving drop down 7,196 feet this week for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championships. The RMAC Championships begin Wednesday morning and run through Saturday evening at the Lewisville Independent School District Westside Aquatics Center, in Lewisville, Texas.
 
Western enters the conference championships ranked 50^th in the Division II Championship Team Rankings and sixth among RMAC programs.
 
Last season, the Mountaineers finished fifth at the RMAC Championships held in Grand Junction, Colorado. Western will again need a big performance from swimmer Randi Yarnell, who was named the RMAC Women's Swimmer of the Year and the RMAC Championships Swimmer of the Meet last season.
 
Yarnell enters this year's meet with three of the conference's top times. She has RMAC leading times in the 100-yard butterfly (55.02), the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.80), and the 100-yard freestyle (50.26). All of those times are Division II National Championship B-Cut times.
 
The Mountaineers will be looking to score big points in two events that they have six swimmers competing. In the 100-yard butterfly, Yarnell is joined by Madeline White, Jordyn Richey, Shelby Brown, Amalie Ratliff and Gabriella Garcia.
 
In the 100-yard freestyle, Yarnell will again be joined by teammates Kate Hewson, Savannah Tice, Morgan Aragon, Brown, and Nina Crouch.
 
Each day, preliminary round sessions will begin at 9:30 a.m. CST (8:30 a.m. Mountain) each morning.  The final-only sessions begin at 5 p.m. CST (4 p.m. Mountain) each evening.
 
Live streaming coverage of the meet can be seen on RMAC TV.
