KU swim makes history at Big 12 Championship
The Kansas swimming and diving team rounded out the 2019 Big 12 Championship with a program-record score of 754.50 points en route to a second-place finish inside the Jamail Texas Swimming Center Saturday.
The Jayhawks finished runner-up to Texas (1,073.5) for the fourth time in the past six years. KU finished with eight record-breaking moments throughout the championship. The 754.50 points Kansas scored totaled 71 points more than its previous program best of 683.5 points set in 2017.
Head coach Clark Campbell was named the 2019 Big 12 Women’s Swimming Coach of the Meet, which was the only non-Texas award winner of the group. Freshman Kate Steward highlighted the night when she broke the school record in the 200-yard breaststroke with a first-place finishing time of 2:11.98.
