The 2016 Tennessee Volunteers women’s swimming & diving team will take their biggest-ever team of 18 athletes (13 individual swimmers, 2 divers, 3 relay only swimmers) to the 2016 NCAA Championships next weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tennessee finished 11th at last year’s NCAA Championship meet, just 1 point behind Indiana for a fourth-straight top-10 finish.
The Volunteers graduated only two swimmers from their NCAA Championship last year: breaststroker Molly Hannis and 200 free relay swimmer Cherelle Thompson.
The individual breaststroke events are a hole in Tennessee’s lineup, and the only events where the Volunteers didn’t earn individual invites. They have, however, gotten enough out of freshman Maddie Banic, primarily a sprint butterflier and freestyler, to win the SEC title in the 200 medley relay.
The 2016 NCAA Championships run from Wednesday March 16th through Saturday March 19th
All I can say is Daiy-amme!!
Congrats to the Lady Vols! GBO!
My Lady Vol helped make this. Thank you to all her teammates for being such great friends!
