Men's Swimming!

...should win an NCAA championship tonight! They were down by 18 pts to Cal after day 2 but qualified four more swimmers for tonight's A/B finals; combine that with a higher finish in the relay prelims and our divers in the platform event and we're on track for a nice win (this would be team title #10 for the program!). Go Horns!

Eddie Reese, quite the star. Congratulations!

 

[Texanne]

Eddie Reese was always very nice to me, and I am so happy for him to have won another national championship. Well done, Coach!

Is there anyone near campus that can tell us if the tower is orange?

Nice! Great job by our S&D team!

 

[accuratehorn]

Congratulations on a great win!
Does anyone know when the tower will be lit to celebrate this victory?

Swim team just left Ohio this morning. The tower is reportedly being lit Tuesday night for the team picture.

Not to be greedy (but I am).

What are our chances for a repeat next year?

I think we have a good chance next year and also maybe the year after it. We have a lot of good swimmers and divers coming back next year plus some excellent recruits. I would love to get the next two years for our coach because he is one behind the Ohio State's coach's record of 11 NCs in S&D and it would be great for our coach to beat his record.

But for right now it is the 2010's day of glory!

WAY TO GO HORNS!

Article from Columbus Dispatch (since this is the local paper, a large portion of the article is about the Buckeyes. Our team this year is probably our best since our '63 team so that's pretty exciting to us).

Congrats on your national championship! I'd much rather see you win than any California team.

Would help if I'd put the link in... and I forgot how to post links on here... let's try From>The Link the Columbus Dispatch

I was really disappointed with the Dispatch coverage, this is actually the first good sized articled I've even seen.

The AAS says the tower ceremony will be tonight (Tuesday). I will cruise by to enjoy the #1 orange tower!

 

[TEXROB]

Sinton.....
Could you elaborate a little about recruits for next year? The swimming magazine I accessed a few months back during recruiting period was not showing alot for UT---compared to Auburn, Cal and other top programs. Maybe I missed it, and maybe you could just provide a reference.
Also, do you happen to know how the women recruited?
Thanks

 

[WorsterMan]

I am late to the celebration but:

LIGHT THE TOWER!!!!

wooooooohoooooooooooo - congratulations #1 swim team - way to go Horns

Some information on the incoming recruits.
The Link

 

[overseasbbfan1]

In addition to top 10 recruit Tucker the women also have Lily Moldenhauer...for some reason she isn't in the collegeswimming.com database but is definitely one of the country's top recruits (top ranked butterflier in the nation and national hgih school record holder i believe). Very nice class for the women. There doesn't seem to be be many recruits listed for the men, and unless I missed it, there wasn't a release on our men's swimming signees last Fall. Here's a link that lists the 2 men and 11 women classified as 6-star recruits for 2010...Horns have signed two of the women....
