2015 Preview Natasha Burgess of Houston was the Most Outstanding Diver at last year’s American Athletic Conference Championships and returns to defend her title on the one-meter board. The Cougars’ Danielle Shedd was the runner-up in this event last year, while UConn’s Taryn Urbanus took third. Tulane’s Lauren Arnold took sixth at last year’s Conference-USA Championships and could push for a podium spot.

American Athletic Conference Champions Devin Burnett, SMU................................................................389.45
2015 Preview SMU’s Devin Burnett swept the diving events at last year’s American Athletic Conference Championships and was the runaway choice as the Most Outstanding Diver in 2014. Burnett has picked up where he left off in the 2014-15 season and is the clear favorite across the board once again. He could be challenged by his Mustang teammate, Hayden Hodges, who took third on the three-meter springboard at last year’s conference championship, or by UConn’s John Brice, who was fourth last year on the three-meter board and enjoyed an outstanding dual meet season.

American Athletic Conference Champions Louisville (Worrell, Kneppers, Houck, McDowell)............7:08.67
2015 Preview SMU’s depth in the freestyle events makes the Mustangs the favorite in the 800 freestyle relay. The Mustangs were six seconds faster than any other American Athletic Conference quartet during the regular season, but the next four teams were separated by slightly more than three seconds. Cincinnati, East Carolina, UConn and Tulane all turned in sub-7:27 times during the season and could be ready to take the top spot should the Mustangs falter.

2015 Preview Cincinnati turned in the fastest time in the 800 freestyle relay during the regular season (6:37.62), though East Carolina clocked 6:39.42 to put the Pirates in contention as well. UConn has two swimmers back from last year’s group, which took second at last year’s American Championships, while SMU will replace three members from last year’s relay unit.

American Athletic Conference Champions Louisville (Brandenburg, Cottrell, Worell, McDowell).....1:38.43
2015 Preview SMU turned in a 1:39.35 performance in the regular season, which suggests that the Mustangs could make a serious run at the meet record and NCAA automatic qualifying time at this year’s American Championships. The Mustangs were just 0.15 seconds off the winning pace last year and lose just one student-athlete from that squad. Tulane and Cincinnati have turned in impressive times during the regular season and should be in contention if SMU stumbles. East Carolina was the Conference USA runner-up last year and has three athletes back from that group.

2015 Preview The men’s 200 medley relay shapes up as one of the potentially closely competed events of The American Championship as the four teams were separated by just 1.22 seconds in the regular season. SMU, UConn and Cincinnati finished second, third and fourth, respectively, at last year’s American Athletic Conference meet, but East Carolina comes in with the fastest regular-season time this year (1:30.38).

2015 Preview Cincinnati’s Jackie Keire, the 2014 American Athletic Conference champion in the 500 freestyle, enjoyed an outstanding regular season that saw her turn in a 4:46.27 performance that is an NCAA provisional qualifier. With a solid performance in Greensboro, Keire should make a run at her own meet record, though SMU’s Ursa Bezan could challenge for the first-place points as well. Bezan swam 4:46.67 in the regular season and looks to improve on last year’s eighth-place finish at The American Championships.

2015 Preview A talented field should make the 100 freestyle one of the most competitive events on the men’s docket. SMU’s Ziga Cerkovnik took fifth last seaosn and is the only man from last year’s championship final in this year’s competition. East Carolina’s Nikola Simic has the fastest regular-season time (44.47), while SMU freshman Christain Scherubl and Cincinnati’s Eitan Holder are all within a half-second of Simic’s mark. East Carolina’s Shawn Hunter and Trevor Irish expect to make their marks in their first American Championships as well.

2015 Preview SMU’s Tara-Lynn Nicholas and Rachel Nicol went 1-2 in the 200 breaststroke last season at The American Championships and they have the top two seeding times from the regular-season, suggesting that a repeat performance is a distinct possibility. East Carolina’s Megan Sellers expects to be in the hunt as well following her third-place finish in Conference USA last season. Any of those swimmers could challenge the NCAA automatic qualifying mark.

2015 Preview UConn has a chance to score big in the 200 breaststroke this year as the Huskies’ Lachezar Shumkov comes in as the top returner in the event from last year’s American Athletic Conference Championships. Shumkov took fifth in the event, while teammate Greg Baliko finished sixth. East Carolina’s Rokas Cepulis could be the overall favorite, however, on the strength of his 1:55.88 seed time that provisionally qualified him for the NCAA Championships.

2015 Preview UConn placed three swimmers into the championship final of the 200 butterfly last season and all three are back to contend for the top spot in 2015. Sophie Nothnagle took fifth last season to highlight the Huskies’ contingent, while Holly Gallagher and Caroline Finkle tied for seventh. East Carolina’s Bailie Monahan was the only sub-2:00 swimmer in the regular season as she registered a 1:59.88 seed time to lead the conference. Monahan and Danielle Morin, who was fourth in Conference USA last year, give the Pirates a pair of strong contenders for the top spot this season.

2015 Preview The 200 butterfly could be wide open this year as five of the eight swimmers from last year’s American Championships final are back in this year’s meet. SMU’s Tyler Rauth leads that group after he took fourth last season and turned in a 1:49.20 seed time that ranks second in the conference this year. East Carolina’s Daniel Woods has the top time in the regular season, however, (1:49.10) and could have something to say about the order of finish. Look for Christopher Girg and Ryan Walsh of UConn, Hunter Pasek of Cincinnati and Tucker Wells of SMU to be in the mix as well.

East Carolina enters the 400 freestyle relay as the only team to break three minutes in the regular season, but Cincinnati, SMU and UConn can put together quartets that should make for a competitive finish. UConn and Cincinnati return two swimmers from last year’s groups that competed for the American title, while SMU has just one competitor back from last season’s entrant.

Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence. With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, East Carolina University, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the University of South Florida, Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only. Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995. Two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Five were selected for bowl games, including UCF, which won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season
ranked No. 10 nationally. The conference produced 14 players who received All-America recognition by a major outlet. The American had four players chosen in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, trailing only the SEC and the ACC among FBS conferences. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles highlighted a group of 12 American Athletic Conference players chosen when he was taken No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The success of The American in Year 1 was not limited to the gridiron. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. The conference had the best postseason winning percentage of any league in men’s basketball, while The American produced top-10 teams in baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf and sent half of its participating teams to the NCAA Softball Championship. The American Athletic Conference holds television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on
ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3. American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. Additionally, The American has announced primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the next six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans. The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools. The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.
