LONGHORN BASEBALL WINS FINAL GAME OF BAYLOR SERIES -- (UT Sports News) - The Texas Longhorns grinded out a 2-1 win over the No. 7 Baylor Bears on Saturday afternoon at UFCU Disch-Falk Field to wrap up the regular season.

Texas (30-20, 14-10 Big 12) scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth when Jonathan Walsh scored on a wild pitch and rightfielder Mark Payton gunned Adam Toth down at third base for the second out of the ninth inning to seal the deal.

The Longhorns drew first blood in the top of the first inning. Payton rattled a hit into the corner down the rightfield line for a double and scored when Erich Weiss dropped a single down the leftfield line, staking the Longhorns to a 1-0 lead.

The lead held up for three innings, before the Bears pounced in the fifth. With one out, Nathan Orf drew a walk and Max Muncy singled up the middle to put runners on the corners. Logan Vick hit a sacrifice fly to rightfield to plate Orf with the equalizer.

Texas appeared to score a go-ahead run in the seventh inning, but the tally was wiped out with an interference call. Tim Maitland was hit by a pitch to start the inning. With one out, Payton singled through the right side of the infield to put runners on the corners. Weiss hit a slow roller to short and the Bears looked unable to turn the inning-ending double play, which would have allowed Maitland to score, but Payton was ruled to have not slid directly into second base giving Baylor the double play.

The Longhorns would eventually claim the lead in the eighth. Walsh started the inning with a double down the rightfield line. Jacob Felts pushed Walsh to third with a grounder to second base and Walsh scored when Baylor reliever Ryan Smith uncorked a wild pitch, giving Texas a 2-1 lead.

Baylor (42-12, 20-4 Big 12) brewed up trouble to start the ninth inning. Toth laced a ball into the gap in left centerfield. Maitland raced to make the diving play from his centerfield position, but the ball came dislodged from his ground when he made impact with the ground putting Toth on second with a leadoff double. With the Bears knocking on the door, Payton made one of the Longhorns’ top defensive plays of the year. Orf hit a fly ball of medium depth. Toth made the move to third, but Payton threw a one-bounce laser for the double play. Muncy grounded out to second to end the game as Texas staved off the sweep.

Hoby Milner (7-4) worked 4.1 shutout innings of relief to earn the win. He scattered two hits and three walks. John Curtiss pitched 4.2 innings in his first career Big 12 start. He allowed one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out three.

Smith (3-1) was saddled with the loss for Baylor. He allowed one run on one hit over 1.0 innings. Tyler Bremer pitched 4.0 innings, plus one batter, in the start for the Bears, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while fanning four. Dillon Newman worked 3.0 innings of scoreless relief, allowing one hit while striking out two.

Payton led Texas’ offense going 3-for-3 with one double and one run.

Muncy, Ludy and Toth each had two hits for Baylor.

The Longhorns benefitted from five double plays on the afternoon, including four ground-ball double plays. The Bears also stranded 10 runners on the day and had bases loaded in three separate innings resulting in a double play and two flyouts.

Texas returns to action on Wednesday when the Longhorns head to Oklahoma City for the Big 12 Championship at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The Longhorns enter the double-elimination tournament as the No. 3 seed and will face the Missouri Tigers at a yet to be determined time.

UT SOFTBALL ADVANCES TO SUNDAY -- (UT Sports Info) - Senior second baseman Lexy Bennett went 3-for-4 with four runs scored and two RBI, while junior All-America pitcher Blaire Luna went the distance in the circle to lead the No. 8/8 Texas softball team to a 10-1 run-rule victory in five innings against Houston in an elimination game of the NCAA Austin Regional on Saturday night at Red and Charline McCombs Field.

With the win, regional top seed Texas (44-11) advances to Sunday's regional championship game at Noon Central against regional fourth seed Northwestern. The Longhorns would need to defeat Northwestern twice on Sunday to secure the NCAA Austin Regional title, while Northwestern needs just one win to advance to next week's NCAA Super Regional. All Sunday contests at the Austin Regional will be televised live by Longhorn Network. Houston concluded its season with an overall record of 35-24.

Luna (19-5) earned the victory for Texas, working 5.0 innings and allowing one run on four hits while striking out nine and walking one. In her two appearances at the Austin Regional, Luna has struck out 23 batters and walked just two in 12.0 innings. Sophomore Bailey Watts (16-10) took the loss for the Cougars, tossing 5.0 innings and allowing 10 runs (eight earned) on 12 hits while striking out three and walking six.

Texas, playing as the visiting team, took control of the contest early with three runs in the top of the first. After a leadoff walk by Taylor Hoagland, Lexy Bennett sent a 2-1 pitch over the wall in left field for her 12th home run of the season and 35th of her career (third in UT history) to give the Longhorns a 2-0 lead. Nadia Taylor followed with a single and advanced to third on a Courtney Craig double to left center. Torie Schmidt reached on a throwing error by Houston second baseman Julia Pecina to load the bases. With one out, Kim Bruins hit a sac fly that drove in Craig for the third run of the inning.

Associated Press SOME QUOTES FROM ANNUAL SPRING GAME -- (UT Sports News) - MACK BROWN: Opening Statement: I thought today was exactly what we needed. It started with history; what a great crowd for Ricky Williams. I thought the ceremony with the statue was fitting. He started today by saying he missed his plane in Dallas and wasn’t going to be here. We all panicked and didn’t know what to do so I said put him at the end of the scrimmage and if he doesn’t get here what we’ll do is have his mother accept it. Ricky can drive you crazy. About 45 minutes later he texted us and said, “April Fools, see you in a few minutes.” He was in town the whole time. That’s typical Ricky Williams. I thought he did a great job and that’s by far the largest crowd we’ve had. I thought that was a great compliment to Ricky and a great compliment to where we are as a program.

We appreciate our fans on a hot day very, very much. I thought we got out of the scrimmage what we wanted. We wanted to look at depth, and we will look at that here in a few minutes and tonight and in the morning. We will see who played well without a whole lot of help on defense. We didn’t move too much, didn’t have a lot of blitzing, and didn’t disguise in the secondary. We wanted to see which defensive players would take people on without the movement we have so often. Then offensively we wanted to see who produced.

You obviously can see that [RB/WR] D.J. Monroe is running with more confidence than ever before. I think he’s a better runner, and he’s catching it better. We didn’t throw it to him today but moving him outside is better. He really played better outside. He really played outside last year but was listed as a running back but all of his plays were from the outside, like the speed sweep. We got the ball to him a lot more this spring and hopefully we can get it to him five or six times a game rather than once or twice. That will give us some explosive plays.

Receivers are coming on. You didn’t see Mike Davis do much today, we didn’t get it to him but he’s had a great spring. John Harris coming back has really helped us and Jaxon Shipley is going to be a really good football player. You saw that M.J. McFarland can really help us in the passing game. We still have to check M.J.’s blocking because we’ve got to make sure he stays lower, he is 6’6”. D.J. Grant came on and had an outstanding spring and Barrett Matthews as well.

I thought all three running backs did a good job today. [Running backs] Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron didn’t get it as much. Malcolm lost his shoe, that’s why he came out; there wasn’t any injury or anything else. He and Joe did really well and have had a great spring. We tested our entire team about toughness and no one got hurt today. Guys have been out there that stayed on the field, and I think we’ve made progress in our toughness. We looked at our offensive line and we have a better chance to be two deep there than anytime in the last three or four years. I think we can be as good two deep on our defensive line as we have been in a while. We started looking at [defensive tackles] Ashton Dorsey and Desmond Jackson and they’re playing well. They’re being pushed with Brandon Moore and Chris Whaley. All four of those guys can be considered as starters.

You heard [defensive coordinator] Manny [Diax] say that the two older defensive ends, Cedric Reed and Reggie Wilson, have had awesome springs. We will add some guys in both of those positions in the rest of the spring that will help us. At linebacker our biggest concern is getting two-deep. We’ve got some good players there, but we’ve got to get more consistent and we’ve got to get two deep. In the secondary, [S] Adrian Phillips will be back and that will help us, but we’ve got to have some of those other guys grow up and be two-deep. Those are some areas we’ve got to grow in. At quarterback we felt like, without watching it, Case and David did some good things. That’s about what they’ve done this spring. One will make three really good plays then we’ll have a play that we can’t have. We will continue to work at depth at quarterback like we do with other positions.

I think the players are really comfortable with where we are right now. From where we were this time last year, having four and not knowing where we were headed with a new offense, today I think either one of those guys could run the offense and help us win. That puts us in a great place. If you can, you would like to redshirt Connor Brewer.That gives him a chance to grow up. We told Connor that in the recruiting process. I thought both the kicker and the punter did a good job today, as well as the snappers. We had very few penalties and very few problems and that’s good when you play that many different kids. We didn’t have a lot of substitution problems and kept it pretty simple.

I thought all in all if you could have asked me to script what we wanted, I would’ve scripted what we got today: nobody hurt, a physical scrimmage, and we got a lot of good plays on both sides. The kids seemed focused and had fun and there was a big crowd. I thought it was all good.

UT News HORNS QUICKLY DEPART TOURNAMENT -- (AP Sports) - This time, Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin wanted to be on the other end of a slow start.

Cronin had caught his Bearcats slogging through the beginning of the Big East championship game last week, and it cost them. So when Texas came out slow after an early tip time in the NCAA tournament, Cincinnati was ready to pounce.

``I thought we came out sleepwalking against Louisville, so with the early start I wanted to come out pressuring the ball, denying, trying to get our deflections, get some easy baskets and really take the game to them early on with our physicality and our intensity,'' Cronin said.

The sixth-seeded Bearcats responded by jumping out to a comfortable lead that helped them withstand a late rally by Texas and win 65-59 on Friday in the second round of the East Regional. They will meet No. 3 seed Florida State on Sunday.

No. 11 seed Texas looked as if it had missed its wake-up call and opened the game 1 of 14 from the field. Cincinnati (25-10) jumped out to a 16-2 lead, while the Longhorns (20-14) shot a mere 16 percent for the first half.

``We came out strong, considering it was an early game,'' Cincinnati guard Dion Dixon said. ``They're a young team, and they were probably not up for it then, but they made a nice little run in the second half. We showed our experience by finishing the game off. We showed our experience down the stretch.''

After trailing 31-17 at halftime, the young Longhorns attacked, hitting five of their first seven from 3-point range and shooting 50 percent for the second half. They found the paint a bit more friendly, too, after being shut down there in the first half.

With 3:44 to play, Texas' Jonathan Holmes hit a layup to tie the game at 52. It was an impressive response by a Longhorns squad that returned just three players from last season and features six freshmen in its regular rotation.

``When we got back in the game, I called timeout just to make sure they understood we're right where we need to be right now; now it's a matter of execution, that we've got to take care of the basketball,'' Texas coach Rick Barnes said. ``Definitely (the Bearcats) were back on the heels. They were worried about the score more than we were.''

The message didn't get through. Cincinnati scored the next six points as Texas turned the ball over once and missed a pair of shots.

Yancy Gates scored inside for the Bearcats, Cashmere Wright drove the lane to hit a shot and then Gates connected over Clint Chapman to put Cincinnati ahead 58-52 with 1:11 to play. Cincinnati went 5 of 6 at the free throw line in the final 36 seconds.

Gates finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds for Cincinnati. JaQuon Parker added 13 points, Dixon had 12 and Wright scored 11.

J'Covan Brown led Texas with 19 points, and Chapman had 10 points and 14 rebounds. Julien Lewis scored 14 points and Sheldon McClellan added 10.

``We already knew at halftime we were going to come back and fight hard,'' Brown said. ``We're always going to play hard, and it showed how much heart we have. We've just got to learn how to finish our games.''

After drawing the early tip time in Nashville, Texas appeared to sleepwalk through much of the first half. The Longhorns got their first basket off a jumper near the free throw line by Lewis just over 2 minutes into the game, but they didn't score again for another 10:18.

A foul by Jermaine Sanders sent Lewis to the free throw line with 7:30 in the half. Lewis hit both shots to make it 16-4. The crowd, which had been mostly quiet up until that point, erupted into cheers.

With 40 percent shooting before halftime, Cincinnati wasn't doing much to impress offensively, either. What the Bearcats were doing was shutting down Texas around the basket in every way possible.

Cincinnati held a 26-18 rebounding advantage at halftime and had outscored the Longhorns 22-6 in the paint while keeping them from getting a single second-chance basket.

The victory meant a second straight 25-win season for Cincinnati under Cronin, who was tasked with returning the program back to national prominence when he was hired six years ago. The Bearcats' win total has increased every season under Cronin, and the No. 6 seed represents their highest spot in the tournament since earning a No. 4 seed in 2004. Cincinnati was coming off its first appearance in the Big East tournament title game, where it lost to Louisville 50-44.

``In order to advance at this time, you're going to be playing the best teams, so you have to be able to win the games in the last two, three minutes,'' Gates said. ``Today I think gives us the confidence, as we move on, to be able to focus and step up and make plays that are at the end of the stretch of the game.''

UT News UT HIRES KAREN ASTON AS COACH -- (UT Sports News) - Karen Aston, an eight-year assistant to Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame coach Jody Conradt, has been named women's basketball head coach at The University of Texas. The announcement was made Tuesday morning by UT Women's Athletics Director Chris Plonsky.

"Karen has been a winner wherever she's been. She has a great intensity and love for basketball, and she cares about her players and gets the best out of them," Plonsky said. "She's an aggressive recruiter that operates with total integrity, and players that have come through her system have always been impressive with how hard they play. Karen's teams have always found ways to overachieve."

"Texas alumni and fans are familiar with Karen and have a high level of respect for her and what she's accomplished. She comes from the Texas Women's Basketball family, and she is the right person to carry on this the torch," Plonsky added.

Aston's appointment is effective immediately and runs through Aug. 31, 2017. She becomes the fourth head coach in the history of the Texas program, replacing Gail Goestenkors who resigned on March 19.

"First and foremost, I want to thank the administration at The University of Texas for this tremendous opportunity. To me, 'Texas' means an incredible sense of pride. That sense of pride was engrained over my eight years here as an assistant," Aston said. "When I moved back to this state last year, part of that reason was to return to the scene of Texas recruiting because I think Texas basketball is some of the very best out there. Being a Longhorn means excellence. It's everything that every young person in this state wants to be."

"You always want to thank those individuals that have had an impact on your growth as a coach and what led you to this point. Jody (Conradt) molded me in my career and I have an enormous amount of respect and love for what she means to this university. My goals and my ambitions are to carry on the tradition of Texas Women's Basketball. I'm excited about the challenge and thrilled to be a part of the storied Texas tradition," added Aston.

After four seasons as head coach at Charlotte (2007-11) and one year as head coach at North Texas (2012), Aston returns to Texas where she originally carved her reputation as an energetic leader and relentless recruiter.

Aston tripled the Mean Green's victory total in one season, as UNT went 15-16 during the 2011-12 season under her direction after winning just five games the previous year.

At Charlotte, Aston led the program to record-breaking heights with 86 victories in four seasons, including a school-record 27 wins in 2010-11. Aston led the 49ers to four-straight postseason appearances and the 2009 Atlantic 10 Tournament Championship en route to the school's second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. In her final season at Charlotte, Aston's squad advanced to the WNIT Final Four.

While on the Forty Acres from 1998-2006, Aston was instrumental in the Longhorns' trip to the 2003 NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four and a pair of "Sweet 16" appearances in 2002 and 2004.

During that span, Texas posted a 173-83 (.676) record that included seven NCAA Tournament appearances. The Longhorns also captured the 2003 Big 12 regular season and tournament titles, and UT shared the 2004 Big 12 regular season title. Aston was promoted from assistant coach to associate head coach in July of 2000 after serving as UT's assistant coach for two seasons.

Aston spearheaded UT's signing of 25 nationally-recognized recruits, including seven McDonald's High School All-Americans and seven WBCA/Nike All-Americans. Two of those high school All-Americans -- Tiffany Jackson and Erika Arriaran -- were named National High School Players of the Year. All eight of the recruiting classes Aston attracted were nationally ranked, including the No. 1 class in the nation in 2005-06.

Aston originally came to Austin from the University of North Texas, where she served as an assistant coach for two seasons (1996-98). Prior to joining the North Texas staff, Aston was a restricted earnings coach at Baylor for two seasons (1994-96).

Following Aston's stint on the Forty Acres, she was named associate head coach at Baylor for the 2006-07 season. With Aston on board, the Lady Bears won 26 games and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

UT News TEXAS VOLLEYBALL BOWS OUT AT REGIONAL FINALS -- (UT Sports News) - The top-seeded Texas Volleyball team received a career performance from senior All-America middle blocker Rachael Adams, but came up short as it fell to eighth-seeded UCLA, 3-1 in the NCAA Lexington Regional final, Saturday evening. The 25-19, 22-25, 22-25, 21-25 loss dropped the Horns season mark to 25-5, while the Bruins improved to 28-6 and advanced to the National Semifinals.

Adams equaled a career-high with her 19 kills, hit a team-best .412 and added five total blocks in her final match in burnt orange. Sophomore outside hitter Bailey Webster joined her in double figures with 14 kills on .367 hitting and national freshman of the year candidate Haley Eckerman added 10 kills. Adams ended her Texas career with 20 career postseason matches played to tie the all-time UT record.

Texas called a timeout in the first set, trailing 11-8 and came out of the timeout on a 14-4 run fueled by a three blocks and two kills by Adams to claim a 22-15 lead. Adams tacked on two more kills down the stretch before a UCLA service error lifted UT to a 25-19 set victory.

UCLA jumped out to a fast start in the second frame, pushing its lead to 19-14 on a kill by Kelly Reeves. Texas answered with a 7-2 rally sparked by three Sha'Dare McNeal kills to tie the set at 21, but the Bruins responded with a run of their own, closing out the set on a 4-1 run to notch a 25-22 win.

The Horns fell behind early once again in the third, trailing 13-10 before bouncing back to reclaim the lead at the 15-14 mark on a McNeal kill. Texas kept the tally tight after relinquishing the lead and tied the set at 21 on a kill by Adams. UCLA sealed the stanza with a 4-1 run that captured a 25-22 set win.

In the fourth, Texas grabbed a 10-8 lead on a Webster kill, but UCLA mounted a 12-3 rally to erase the UT lead and forge ahead, 20-13. Following the run, Texas put together a 5-1 run of its own and closed the margin to 21-18 on a solo block by Webster. The Horns narrowed the Bruins' edge to two on a Madelyn Hutson/McNeal block that moved the score to 22-20. Late in the set, Texas' comeback came up short when Rachael Kidder connected for two of her 26 kills to lift UCLA to a 25-21 victory.

Texas concluded the season with a 25-5 record and made its NCAA-best sixth straight Regional final appearance.

UT News UT WOMEN HIRE COACH -- (UT Sports Info) - Carol Capitani, who has served as associate head coach at the University of Georgia's men's and women's program, has been named women’s swimming and diving head coach at The University of Texas. The announcement was made Friday afternoon by UT Women’s Athletics Director Chris Plonsky.

“Carol has been instrumental in recruiting and building champions and leaders at Georgia, and we know she will bring that mentality to The University of Texas,” said Plonsky. “She is obviously a strong program manager, technical coach and trainer. But what sets Carol apart are her skills as a master motivator and communicator. She derives the ultimate in accountability and effort from student-athletes. She also is creative and collaborative in her approach to coaching, something very evident during the search process. We are very proud that she is assuming this leadership role. Our program needs to be and can be nationally competitive. She shares our high expectations for work ethic and excellence.”

Capitani’s appointment runs through Aug. 31, 2017. She becomes the 10th head coach in the history of the Texas program, replacing Kim Brackin who coached six seasons.

Capitani spent 14 years at Georgia during two different stints. She was as an assistant coach for 12 years (1996-2008) before returning to Athens in the summer of 2010 and serving as associate head coach for the last two seasons. Capitani worked as the assistant head coach for the Singapore National Team from 2009-10.

While a member of the Georgia staff, Capitani was a part of four NCAA team titles (1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005) and seven NCAA second-place finishes (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2012) with the Lady Bulldogs. She was also a part of six top-10 NCAA finishes with the men's team and helped the Bulldogs garner five Southeastern Conference titles. This past year, Georgia finished second at the NCAA Women’s Championship and 11th at the NCAA Men’s Championship. Capitani worked primarily with the main group and also worked closely with the breaststrokers.

TEXAS MEN AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS -- (UT Sports Info) - The Texas Men’s Swimming & Diving team made its final push at the NCAA Championships Saturday night at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, Wash. and ended up finishing in second place with 420 points.

“You would think second would be good enough but it is not,” said head coach Eddie Reese. “We came in having a shot and Cal stepped up every time and had a great race. We let down a little bit this morning and they got up on us. We weren’t as good as we needed to be and that is my fault.”

The Longhorns have now finished in the top two of the National Championships five straight years and have claimed a spot in the top five in 32 of the last 33 seasons.

“I know everybody at home was watching this and wishing they were here and we aren’t satisfied with how it went,” said junior Dax Hill. “When we get back home we are going to work on getting everybody ready to come back next year.”

“We have had a really long three days and a late night last night so even though it is good to want more you also need to reflect on what you accomplished and we accomplished a lot,” said Feigen. “It was a great meet all around and couldn’t be happier for it. We did the best we could and ultimately that is all you can ask for.”

With second place secured going into the final event, Texas was able to close out the meet the best way possible. The Longhorns ended Saturday by winning the national championship in the 400 freestyle relay. The relay group of Hill, Clay Youngquist, Austin Surhoff and Jimmy Feigen combined to improve their prelims time by almost three seconds, going the fourth best time in school history with a 2:49.83.

“After that race last night (800 freestyle relay) we had confidence going into tonight,” said Youngquist. “Then with the way Jimmy and Dax swam in the 100 free earlier I knew he had a good shot.”

All four swimmers were under 43.00 in their splits with Feigen posting a blistering 41.32. When Feigen entered the pool for the final leg, Texas stood in fourth place. UT was 55/100 off the lead but Feigen was easily able to overcome the competition and touch the wall first, giving the Longhorns the championship.

“That was really a great cap to my senior year,” said Feigen. “I haven’t had a moment like that since high school with coming from behind to win. When I finally got a glimpse of the field coming off that last wall I saw I had half a body length. Once I saw we were ahead it was history because nobody is going to come back on me in the 100 free.”

“We knew we weren’t going to get the team title so we switched our focus on the relay title and wanted to give our fans something to be happy about for sticking with us the whole way,” said Surhoff. “When I dove in the water I knew I just had to give Jimmy a chance on the anchor leg.”

Jimmy Feigen was crowned national champion for the second time on the weekend. After winning the 50 freestyle on Thursday he added the 100 freestyle on Saturday. Feigen led start to finish, ending with a time of 41.95 for his second career national title.

“The 100 free this morning scared the daylights out of me because it was a really hard 100 free,” said Feigen. “I was weary going into tonight and wanted to get off the blocks as fast as I could. When I saw that I was ahead I was a little shocked. It fueled my energy level and I pulled out the win.”

It is the fifth national title in the 100 freestyle for Texas and first since Garrett Weber-Gale won in 2006 with a 42.11. Texas finished with five individual national titles on the weekend, the most since 2004 when UT won seven championships. It is the 11th time in school history the Longhorns have won five or more individual titles in one year.

Texas finished off a great weekend in the diving well. Senior Matt Cooper, competing in his first A final of the weekend scored 449.15 points for third overall. Fellow senior Drew Livingston wrapped up the weekend by finishing in the top four in all three diving events. He scored 427.05 points for fourth overall after winning the national title in the 1-meter and placing second in the 3-meter.

“It was great to see Matt Cooper step up in this final and dive like we know he can,” said diving coach Matt Scoggin. “It was great to see him end his college career like he did. Drew had a really great weekend in the 1-meter, 3-meter and prelims on platform. In the finals for some reason it just didn’t fall his way but he is such a team player and all he cared about was the team performance. He is a class act and had a great weekend.”

For his overall weekend performance, Livingston was awarded the NCAA Championships Diver of the Meet. Diving coach Matt Scoggin was named the CSCAA Diving Coach of the Year.

“I couldn’t be happier because this was my most complete meet in four years,” said Livingston. “It just shows all the hard work I have put in at the forty acres these last four years. A team title would have been great but I couldn’t have done this without all of my teammates and the fans. This is a family that goes beyond here and these guys will be my best friends for the rest of my life.”

Dax Hill won his 100 freestyle race. Swimming in the consolation B final, Hill ran down Ohio State’s Jason Schnur in the final 25 to win the heat and gain ninth place overall with a time of 42.63.

The night started with the final heat of the 1,650 freestyle. The defending national champion in the event, junior Michael McBroom, swam his fastest time of the year to claim eighth place and earn All-America status. Jackson Wilcox (19th) had a time of 15:05.06 and Jake Ritter (20th) was close behind with a 15:07.13.

Senior Neil Caskey tied for seventh in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:44.75. Caskey had the lead after the first 100 yards but could not hold on as the field made a big push at the end. Earlier in the day during prelims, Caskey broke the school record in the event with a 1:42.52.

Eric Friedland finished eighth in the 200 breaststroke one year after winning the event. He clocked a 1:55.32 to garner All-America status. Nick D’Innocenzo was in the consolation B final of the event and ended up 13th with a time of 1:55.38.

Three Longhorns were in the consolation B final of the 200 backstroke. Austin Surhoff posted the top time for UT at 1:43.05 to end up 12th overall. Kip Darmody touched the wall at nearly the same time for a 1:43.09 and 13th. Cole Cragin had a 1:44.71 for 16th.

Overall on the weekend 14 Texas swimmers garnered All-America or honorable mention All-America honors with their performances. Leading the way were Jimmy Feigen with seven and Neil Caskey with five. Eric Friedland, Dax Hill and Clay Youngquist each finished with four All-American honors. Cole Cragin collected three All-America honors and one honorable mention All-America honor while Drew Livingston is a three-time All-American. Kip Darmody added two All-America honors and one honorable mention while Michael McBroom is a two-time All-American in 2012. Both Matt Cooper and Nick D’Innocenzo had one All-America and two honorable mention All-America selections. Charlie Moore and Austin Surhoff each had one All-America award while Kyle McNeilis is an honorable mention All-American.

"I am really excited for the women's program and congratulate them for winning the conference meet," said head coach Bubba Thornton. "I am proud of my team but disappointed we couldn't do the same. We had guys like Goodwin, Murphy, Thormaehlen and Jackson have great winning performances and that is what Texas is all about but we are not quite where we need to be as a team. We have the NCAA Regionals coming up and we will be ready to compete."

The Longhorns were one of only two teams to score over 100 points as they claimed second place behind the Big 12 Champions, Texas A&M (150).

Sophomore Mark Jackson became the fourth individual to win a Big 12 title on the weekend. He completed the indoor/outdoor sweep of the triple jump with his winning jump of 15.93m ( 52-03.25).

UT News TEXAS WOMEN WIN BIG 12 -- (UT Sports Info) - The University of Texas Women’s Track & Field team earned its seventh Big 12 Outdoor Championship on Sunday at the R.V. Christian Track Complex in Manhattan, Kan.

“This is a relief that they finally believed in themselves and what they are capable of,” said head coach Beverly Kearney. “They fought for it no matter what happened. We suffered a lot of adversity in the meet and they just kept fighting. They wouldn’t quit or give up. It was a legitimate battle between the top three teams.”

The Longhorns scored 139 points to give them the team title. The last Big 12 Outdoor Championship for UT was in 2006. The seven team titles are the most by any school in Big 12 history.

“At the end of the day it took an entire team effort for us to win,” said Kearney. “It is going to take that same fight and tenacity as we continue along in our season. Our goals are not done. This is a good start to the championship portion of our season.”

Women's Outdoor Track and Field becomes the fourth UT program to capture a Big 12 Conference championship during the 2011-12 athletics season, joining Volleyball, Men's Swimming and Diving and Rowing. In addition, Women's Tennis claimed the postseason league tournament title.

Texas and Texas A&M split the first two matches before the teams engaged in a tight match at No. 3 doubles to decide the doubles point. The Aggies' Junior Ore and Jackson Withrow led off with an 8-3 win at the first slot over the Horns' 36th-ranked duo of Chris Camillone and David Holiner. Texas' junior tandem of Ben Chen and Daniel Whitehead responded with a convincing win at second doubles, where they dealt A&M's Niall Angus and John Lewis an 8-2 defeat.

At No. 3 doubles, with the two teams on-serve and A&M leading 6-5, the Aggies' Colin Hoover and Alexis Klegou broke the serve of UT's Soren Hess-Olesen and Jacoby Lewis to assume a 7-5 lead. The Aggies held serve in the final game to close out the match, 8-5 and win the doubles point.

UT's Sitaram raced out to a 6-0 first-set win at third singles over the Aggies' Hoover. Sitaram closed out the win with a 6-3 second-set victory to even the match at one point apiece. The Aggies struck back at first singles, where Klegou dealt UT's Hess-Olesen a 6-3, 6-1 defeat to claim a 2-1 A&M lead.

UT evened the match with a win at second singles from Whitehead. The Texas junior broke A&M's Ore to even the first set at four before holding serve and breaking Ore once more to take the set, 6-4. Whitehead broke Ore late in the second set and took the set, 6-4 to win the match and even the team score at two. The Aggies' Withrow put A&M in the lead once again, as he posted a 6-3, 6-3 win over UT's Lloyd Glasspool. At fifth singles, A&M's Lewis took the first set in a tiebreaker off of UT's Chen, 7-6(2). Chen broke Lewis in the second set to tie the set at four, but Lewis broke Chen in the following game to take a 5-4 second-set lead.

MEN'S GOLF ADVANCES IN NCAA's -- (UT Sports Info) - The No. 1 Texas Men’s Golf team punched a ticket to its sixth-consecutive NCAA Championship with a second-place showing at the Norman Regional on Saturday afternoon. The Longhorns carded a field-best 4-over-par 292 at Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club to finish the 54-hole regional with a final score of even-par 864 (279-293-292).

Texas - one of five squads in the 14-team field to earn a berth to the 30-team national championship - will begin competition at the NCAA Championship at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., on May 29.

Trailing eventual champion Washington by nine strokes after 36 holes, Texas made a late rally but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Huskies. The Longhorns’ four counting scorers – senior Dylan Frittelli, junior Cody Gribble, sophomore Toni Hakula and freshman Jordan Spieth – played the front nine at 2-under and were +6 after the turn.

Gribble saved his best round for last with a 1-under 71. He dipped to -3 on the day with an eagle on the par-4 10th hole where he drove the green and drained a 20-footer. Gribble (7-75-71) finished tied for 27th place at 7-over 223.

Frittelli was 1-over in his final round after making his third birdie on 18. Frittelli (70-74-73) had a 12-foot look at eagle, but missed the putt just inches to the left and tapped in for birdie. He finished tied for seventh place with Spieth (66-77-74) – who’s only birdie also came on the 18th hole – at 1-over 217.

Hakula overcame four bogeys and a double to finish at 2-over. Hakula (71-73-74=218) finished tied for 10th place to mark his fourth top-10 of the season.

Junior Julio Vegas (72-71-76=219) rounded out the Texas squad in a tie for 15th place.

UT’s four top-15 individual finishes were the most by any team in the field.

WOMEN'S GOLF AT NCAA -- (UT Sports Info) - The Texas Women’s Golf team fired a field-low 6-under-par 282 in Saturday’s final round of the NCAA East Regional to advance to the NCAA Championship for the fourth time in the last five years. UT made a late charge as juniors Katelyn Sepmoree and Haley Stephens and freshman Bertine Strauss played their final nine holes – the front nine of host Penn State’s Blue Course – at 5-under.

The Longhorns (296-300-282) finished tied for second place in the 24-team field at 14-over 878 and earned one of the top-eight regional berths to the national championship at Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tenn., from May 22-25.

Sepmoree (74-74-69=217, +1) carded a season-low 69 and matched her career-best single round to climb from a 24th-place tie after 36 holes into a season-best tie for seventh. After back-to-back rounds of 74, Sepmoree sank a team-high five birdies – including three over her final nine holes - to overcome an opening double bogey on the par-4 10th hole in Saturday’s finale.

Strauss (73-78-70) finished tied for 19th place at 5-over 221 in her NCAA postseason debut. She began and finished her round with birdies on 10 and nine while adding a third birdie on the third hole and a lone bogey on five.

Senior Nicole Vandermade (72-75-75=222, +6) finished tied for 29th after a final-round 75. Stephens was one stroke back at 7-over 223 (77-75-71) to tie for 35th place and junior Desiree Dubreuil (79-76-72=227) completed the Texas squad in a tie for 59th place.

South Carolina (288-294-291=873, +9) led wire-to-wire and finished five strokes ahead of runners-up Texas and Texas A&M (296-296-286). Alabama (879), Florida (879), Arizona State (887), Michigan State (887) and Duke (887) rounded out the eight advancing teams.

LONGHORNS' DODDS RECEIVES HONORS -- (UT Sports Info) - Texas Men’s Athletics Director DeLoss Dodds was honored among the best in sports business on May 18, 2011, during the fourth annual Sports Business Awards at New York’s Marriott Marquis Times Square.

Dodds was honored as the Athletic Director of the Year at the awards ceremony, which is presented by Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, the two leading publications on the business of sports.

Dodds' calm, thoughtful leadership pulled UT through the unpredictable summer climate of conference realignment. UT emerged as the leading member of a smaller Big 12, and in January, UT announced the creation of the Longhorn Network, the first sports network devoted to a single school.

"The coach in DeLoss comes out in the most pressure-filled situations, where he leads, he stays consistent and people absolutely respond," said Chris Plonsky, UT's Women's Athletics Director.

ESPN, UT’s programming and production partner in the Longhorn Network, won for Best in Sports Media, and ESPN Networks was named the winner for Best in Sports Television. Additionally, George Bodenheimer, the president of ESPN/ABC Sports, was named the Sports Executive of the Year.

ESPN has a 20-year agreement to own and operate a year-round, 24-hour network dedicated to The University of Texas in partnership with UT and IMG College. Longhorn Network, scheduled to launch in August 2011, will offer a variety of content, highlighted by more than 200 exclusive events annually from 20 UT sports.

Awards were presented in 15 categories. Winners were chosen by a committee of outside panelists and members of the editorial staff of the SportsBusiness Journal/Daily.

LONGHORNS PACE 2008 OLYMPICS -- (Courtesy UT Sports Info) - Ten former and current University of Texas student-athletes accounted for a total of 14 medals, including 10 gold, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. If these athletes were competing as a separate country, Texas would have ranked eighth among all nations in number of gold medals earned and tied for 18th in number of total medals won.

In its storied Olympics history, former and current University of Texas student-athletes have produced a total of 116 medals, including 67 gold, 31 silver and 18 bronze.

Former swimmer Aaron Peirsol paced the Longhorns' contingency with three total medals. Peirsol claimed gold in both the 100-meter backstroke (world-record time of 52.54) and the 400-meter medley relay (world-record time of 3:29.34) and earned silver in the 200-meter backstroke. Texas-ex Garrett Weber-Gale won gold medals in the 400-meter freestyle relay (world-record time of 3:08.24) and the 400-meter medley relay (swam the freestyle leg in the prelims).

Four other Texas swimmers earned gold medals in Beijing. UT junior Ricky Berens swam the third leg of Team USA's gold medal-winning and world record-breaking 800-meter freestyle relay (6:58.56), while classmate Dave Walters earned a gold medal after swimming in the event's preliminary round. Texas-ex Brendan Hansen swam the breaststroke leg on the 400-meter medley relay, while former Longhorn Ian Crocker claimed a gold medal after swimming in the event's preliminary round.

Texas-ex Sanya Richards ran the anchor leg on Team USA's gold medal-winning 1,600-meter relay and earned a bronze medal in the 400-meters. Former Longhorn Melaine Walker claimed a gold medal for Jamaica in the 400-meter hurdles (Olympic-record time of 52.67).

Texas-ex pitching legend Cat Osterman earned a silver medal with the U.S. softball team, while former Longhorn catcher Taylor Teagarden helped the U.S. baseball squad to a bronze medal.

These totals do not include UT head women's basketball coach Gail Goestenkors, who served as an assistant coach and helped Team USA to the gold medal in women's basketball, or the one gold and three silver medals earned by Texas women's swimming volunteer assistant coach Kirsty Coventry for Zimbabwe.

A total of 23 current or former University of Texas student-athletes and five current coaches represented seven countries during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

In addition to Goestenkors' gold medal with Team USA's women's basketball squad, Eddie Reese paced the U.S. men's swimming team to 16 total medals (nine gold, two silver, five bronze), while Bubba Thornton directed the U.S. men's track and field squad to 14 medals (four gold, five silver, five bronze). Kim Brackin led the Zimbabwe swimming team to four medals (one gold, three silver).
