Texas’ Camden Taylor (newcomer) and Noah Duperre (diver) took two of the Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving weekly awards with Cincinnati’s Hunter Gubeno taking the Big 12 Men’s Swimmer of the Week. Kelly Pash (swimmer), Angie Coe (newcomer) and Bridget O’Neil (co-diver) also earned shares of the women’s awards for the Longhorns with Houston’s Chase Farris (co-diver) rounding out the women’s side.
 
Gubeno picked up a pair of first-place finishes as well as a couple of runner-up results in Cincinnati’s meets against Kentucky and No. 8/15 Louisville. The senior marketing major clocked a time of 48.06 in the 100 back and 1:44.67 in the 200 back, good enough for the gold in both events against Kentucky. The next day he followed that up with times of 48.42 in the 100 back and 1:42.79 in the 200 back against Louisville. It is his first career Conference weekly award and he’s the second Bearcat to win the Big 12 Men’s Swimmer of the Week award this season.
 
Pash secured her second-consecutive award this season with her performance against TCU and at the Sterkel Classic. The graduate student won five individual races over two days including two in long course racing. Against TCU, the corporate communications major took the 100 free in 55.11 seconds before cutting over five seconds off her personal best in the 400 IM (4:45.50). The following day, Pash recorded an A-cut time of 1:51.22 in the 200 fly, the second-fastest time in the national rankings this season, as well as her second-fastest time this season in the 100 fly in 50.40 seconds. Her last win came in the 100 free with a time of 47.72. It is the ninth Big 12 weekly award of her career.
 
Duperre won both of his events as he swept the springboards in the Longhorns’ dual against TCU. The psychology major totaled season-best scores of 397.43 on the 1-meter dive and 449.63 on the 3-meter dive. The senior won the 1-meter by almost 30 points before outscoring teammate Nicholas Harris by three points for the gold medal on the 3-meter. It is his second weekly Conference award this season and sixth of his career.
 
Farris added two more podium finishes against SMU to her fifth-year resume. The Mission Viejo, California native, who is double majoring in psychology and journalism, totaled 311.63 points on the 1-meter dive for the gold medal as well as 301.35 points on the 3-meter dive for runner-up. It is her third Conference weekly award this season.
 
O’Neil took both diving events in the Longhorns’ dual meet against TCU. She scored 337.50 points on the 1-meter dive and a season-best 398.18 on the 3-meter dive. The speech and language pathology major’s performance on the 3-meter was almost 57 points higher than the runner-up. It is her fourth Conference weekly award this season and 11^th of her career.
 
Taylor accumulated six gold medals in two days including four individual wins. The freshman won two long course events against the Horned Frogs, including a career-best 22.97 in the 50 free and 2:03.40 in the 200 free. The Rockford, Illinois native then achieved two more wins with career-bests in both the 50 free (19.86) and the 500 free (4:24.66) at the Sterkel Classic the next day. He added two relay victories with Texas’ 200 medley relay against TCU and the 200 free relay at the Sterkel Classic. It is his first career Conference weekly award.
 
Coe garnered her first career Conference weekly award after winning three individual events and adding a runner-up result. The freshman took home the gold in the long course 200 back with a career-best time of 2:14.69 as well as the top placement in the long course 200 IM (2:19.68). She added a runner-up outcome in the 50 free with a personal-best time of 25.77 to conclude her meet against TCU. The next day, the Charleston, Illinois native logged the No. 5 time in Texas program history and the 13^th fastest time in the nation this season with another career-best in the 400 IM (4:07.45) at the Sterkel Classic. She added one more top placement with Texas’ 200 medley relay to end her weekend.
