OKLAHOMA CITY - The San Diego State women's swimming and diving team remained in eighth place after the second day of the Mountain West Conference championships at the Oklahoma City Community College Aquatic Center. The Aztecs have totaled 81 points through eight events.

In the 50 free prelims, Christine Graham and Brooke Vessey tied for 26th place, as they both clocked in at 24.71. That mark was a season-best for both and also a lifetime-best for Graham.
