Swimming and diving season might not end for some members of East Carolina’s team this week at the American Athletic Conference championship meet.
Some have posted B qualifying times — not as good as the automatic A cut, but still in the ballpark — for the NCAA championships, which are coming up in March. Even if a few Pirates do make it to Atlanta for the NCAAs, that was not, and is not, their ultimate destination.
As ECU coach Rick Kobe makes clear, all season long the Pirates have had their sights set on Houston, the site of the American meet that begins today and concludes Saturday.
