YORK, Pa. - The 2020-21 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Swimming Championships will begin Wednesday, April 21 and conclude Saturday, April 24, from the Graham Aquatic Center in York, Pennsylvania.
 
We will see a different champion in men's swimming for the first time since 1998, and a different champion on the women's side for the first time since 2006 with West Chester not competing. The last PSAC Men's and Women's Swimming Champions besides West Chester were both Clarion.
 
Making their way to York for the championships will be Bloomsburg, California (Pa.), Clarion, East Stroudsburg (W), Edinboro, Gannon, Indiana (Pa.), Lock Haven (W), Millersville (W) and Shippensburg.
 
Last year the men's team placed fifth, while the women's team finished in fourth place respectively. 

At a Glance:
The Clarion men's and women's swimming teams head to York, Pennsylvania and the Graham Aquatic Center for the 2021 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships. The four-day conference championships start Tuesday, April 20 and run through Friday, April 24 with two sessions each day. 

Notes:
On the men's side for Clarion, reigning PSAC Freshman of the Year Connor Cary makes his return to the Graham Aquatic Center looking to defend his first place finishes in multiple events last year. Cary ranks in the top 10 in the 200 IM, the 100 Fly and the 200 Fly. 

In the distance events, Ty Rabenstein ranks in the top 10 in both the 1000 Free and the 500 Free. 

For the women, the Golden Eagles look to make an improvement on the fourth place finish they mounted last season. Mary Clare Smith and Sarah Murray rank in the top five in the 1000 Free, while teammate Maddy Murphy is the ten seed. Corina Paszek is the three spot in the 200 IM, also sitting in the top 10 in the 400 IM, Amanda Dial and Ava Arnoold help round out the top 10 in the event. 

Junior Stephanie Setar finds herself in the ninth position in the 100 Fly, while Gabi Wayne ranks in the top five in the 200 Free. 

The Competition:

On both the men's and women's side, IUP had Luke Mikesell (M), Rachel Johnson (W), Claire Mikesell (W) and Iliana Oikonomou compete at the 2021 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. Paige Mikesell ended up earning National Champion honors in the 200 Yard Freestyle.
 
Gannon's Silvija Taraska also competed in the 200 Yard Freestyle at the National Championships.
