SMU swimming and diving took advantage of the home pool advantage at last week’s American Athletic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships at Robinson and Lindley Aquatics Center, sweeping the most outstanding performer awards for both genders.
Senior swimmer Matea Samardzic was named the top swimmer in the woman’s category for the event. She took home her second-straight conference championship in the 200-yard backstroke, and set a pool record in the process. She also took home the title in the 400-yard individual medley.
Freshman Andrea Podmanikova added another championship to the Mustangs’ trophy case with a win in the 200-yard breaststroke.
