Newly crowned C-USA swimming champs return to action in Austin

The SMU men’s swimming and diving team will meet in Austin for the three day American Short Course Championship beginning Thursday March 7.

The team enters the meet after winning the Conference USA Championships February 24 with 967 points.

At the C-USA Championships Coach Eddie Sinnott was named co-men’s swimming coach of the year and diving coach Jim Stillson was honored as men’s diving coach of the year. Swimmer Mindaugas Sadauskas won men’s swimmer of the meet. Sophmore Devin Burnett won men’s diver of the meet.

Also during the last meet, Nicolai Hansen, Ryan Koops, David Larsson and Sadauskas set a meet and SMU record in the 400-yard freestyle relay, clocking in a time of 2:53.17. In the 800-yard freestyle Nicolai Hansen, Sadauskas, Matt Roney and Eastman Holloway also set a meet and school record touching the wall in 6:26.18. Sadauskas also swam a 42.77 second 100-yard freestyle, which set a meet record.

Hansen and Burnett both earned first place wins in the 200-yard breaststroke and platform diving respectively. Hansen clocked in a time of 1:57.60 and Burnett scored 387.90.

The men’s swimming and diving team has two more competitions after the Short Course Championship, the NCAA Zone D Diving and NCAA National Championships. With only 25 days left of the season, top scoring teammates and seniors will be working harder than ever to bring in the final wins for the year.
