Texas A&M appears well-equipped to post its 11th straight top 10 team finish at the 2017 NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships after qualifying an impressive 13 swimmers for the national meet on Wednesday.
 
The Aggies' 13 qualifiers tied for the second-most in the nation behind the 14 swimming qualifiers by defending champion Georgia, USC and Stanford, and Texas A&M was one of just eight teams with double-digit qualifiers. The Aggies will be seeking to add to their NCAA team when the dive crew competes at the NCAA Zone D qualifier March 6-8 at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Mo.
 
The two-time defending Southeastern Conference Champion Aggies have placed fourth at the last four NCAA Championships, which is the highest finish in program history. The 2017 NCAA Championships will be contested March 15-18 in Indianapolis, Ind.
