"We are so ready for Greensboro," head coach Clark Campbell said. "The team accomplished so much this season and will attack each event at Big 12s. We look forward to competing at the highest level and having fun while doing it."
Swimming preliminaries begin at 10 a.m. CT, with finals at 6 p.m. CT each day. On Tuesday, only finals will be contested, starting at 5 p.m. CT. Diving preliminaries begin at 11:30 a.m. CT daily, followed by finals alongside swimming events, except Friday, when no diving events will be held.
