September 1, 2017 (San Diego) - The San Diego State swimming and diving team as announced its 2017-18 schedule, featuring six events at the Aztec Aquaplex. The Aztecs begin the season on Sept. 15 with a dual meet at the University of San Diego.
The Aztecs see a travel-heavy start to the campaign, with SDSU competing at Nevada, Pepperdine, Fresno State, UC Davis and USC to start the year. SDSU competes in the Nevada Relays hosted in Reno, Nev., on Sept. 30, and the SDSU divers will make the trip up I-5 to compete in the Trojan Invite from Nov. 10-12.
SDSU will see its first action at the Aztec Aquaplex with the A3 Invitational from Nov. 16-18. Although the event will take place on the SDSU campus, UC San Diego serves as the official hosts for the annual swim-only event.
The Aztecs close 2017 with three consecutive home events, including a dual meet against Pepperdine and UCSD on Dec. 1, a dual meet against Air Force and Cal Poly on Dec. 22, and a dual meet against Oregon State on Dec. 30. The transition to 2018 begins with another home meet, hosting Fresno State, Colorado State, and New Mexico on Jan. 8.
Divers will compete at the UCLA Diving Invite from Jan. 12-14. SDSU then finishes the 2017-18 regular season at home with a senior meet against USD on Jan. 19.
The Mountain West Championships take place in San Antonio, Texas, from Feb. 14-17, as the Aztecs will look to build on a second-place finish last year. The Zone E Diving Championships take place March 5-7, in Flagstaff, Ariz., and the NCAA Championships occur one week later in Columbus, Ohio, from March 14-16.
