It is the human resources major’s first Big 12 Men’s Swimmer of the Week award and third Conference honor this season.
 
Sticklen helped the Longhorns A-relay to the fourth-fastest time in program history and an A-standard time of 1:34.14 in the 200 medley relay.

The exercise science major added a B-cut time of  1:54.94 in the 200 IM and two winning A-cut times in the 100 and 200 fly (50.36 and 1:50.31). It is Sticklen’s second weekly Conference award this season and fifth of her career.

The freshman also swam the second leg of the 200 medley relay that finished with a winning time of 1:24.22. It is the first award of his career.

Berglund picked up two first-place finishes for the Longhorns in the 100 back and the 400 medley relay. In the 100 back, the freshman clocked the seventh-fastest time in program history (50.85) while she swam the lead off leg of the 400 medley to help Texas record the second-fastest time in school history (3:25.25).
