Women's swim, men and women's dive, seek second-straight championship title

After putting a close to the regular spring season, the No. 2 Arizona women's swim and dive teams begin their next challenge: defending a Pacific 10 Conference title.

Arizona - who put an end to Stanford's dominance with a win last year - will try to repeat history in the meet, which starts today and runs through Saturday at the Weyerhaeuser King Country Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash.

"I think that it will give us more drive to want to do it again," sophomore Annie Joseph said. "We had a taste of it last year and want to do it again this year."

At the 2000 Pac-10 Championships, Arizona placed first top in four of its individual events.
