A nice break from all of the news surrounding the Texas Longhorns making the move from the Big 12 to the SEC for a short bit of time to focus on the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. And this bit of news involves a commit of the Texas swimming program, which is something that made waves on the night of July 26. On July 26, the Alaska native and 17-year-old Longhorns commit Lydia Jacoby wrote her name into Olympic history by winning the Gold Medal in the 100-meter women’s breaststroke final.
