AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas Tower will be lit in burnt orange with the number '1' on the North and South sides and the number '15' on the East and West sides later tonight (Sunday, March 28) to commemorate the UT Men's Swimming and Diving program's recent NCAA championship.

Per campus tradition, the University recognizes UT sports programs who win a national team championship with a burnt orange lighting of the campus landmark with the number '1' appearing on the building's four sides. Tonight, the University will salute the team which captured the 2021 national championship and the program's 15th overall NCAA title.
