COLLEGE STATION, Texas - All-American diver Eric Sehn completed a clean sweep of this weekend¹s diving events when he won the platform event on the third and final day of the inaugural Art Adamson Invitational on Sunday at the TAMU Student Rec Natatorium.
The Aggie men, in third place after Saturday, made a strong Sunday push to finish second with 1,004 points. LSU won the meet with 1,039 points, followed by the Aggies (1,004), SMU (1,001), and Pacific (686).
Sehn set his second school record in two days with a score of 414.35 on the platform. Sehn also swept the three diving events in each of the last two Big 12 Championship meets.
³It was a good weekend. I did a lot of things right,² said Sehn. ³It¹s good preparation to know where I am midseason, to know my strengths and weaknesses. I¹m pretty stoked about today. Breaking 400 is really good.²
The Aggie men¹s swim team knew they had depth coming into the meet and eventually depth is what kept them in it. They finished third in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The Aggie men also placed four swimmers in the ³A² heat of the 100-yard freestyle and another three swimmers in the ³A² heat of the 1650-yard freestyle.
³We¹re just getting better every meet,² Aggie head swimming coach Jay Holmes said. ³We¹re looking to improve and we¹ve got a lot of work to do. Our mission is to work hard to get prepared for our conference championship meet. Everything we do is geared toward that.²
The Texas A&M men¹s swimming and diving team will next be in action Saturday, December 2 in Lexington, Kentucky to face the University of Kentucky Wildcats.
