San Diego State senior Taylor Johnson placed 32nd out of 57 racers in the 50-yard freestyle last Thursday at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Atlanta, Georgia, that ran all the way through the weekend.
However, the 32nd place wasn’t good enough to secure Johnson, SDSU’s lone competitor, a spot in the finals.
“I thought she did a wonderful job,” head coach Mike Shrader said. “She was in the top 1 percent of swimmers in the country all year long. And she absolutely deserved to be (at the national title meet).”
With her participation, she kept the streak of consecutive seasons in which an Aztec has been represented at the NCAA Championships alive at seven in a row now.
