League Swimmers Combine for 35 All-America Citations
(March 17, 2008) 

Swimmers from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference had strong showings at the recent NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championships held at Mizzou Aquatics Center in Columbia, Mo..  The event was co-hosted by Missouri S&T and the University of Missouri.


Individual national champions were crowned in 42 separate events - 21 each in men's and women's competitions.  In addition, the top eight finishers in each event earned distinction as All-Americans.

For the second straight year, swimmers from the PSAC combined for 35 All-America citations in 26 events, led by two West Chester gold medal performances as Ben Kuntz claimed gold in the 200-yard butterfly along with the 800-yard freestyle relay squad.

West Chester topped the PSAC schools by finishing third overall on the men's side and seventh in the women's standings.
