The No. 2 Longhorns crept back into the win column on Friday with a victory over the SMU Mustangs, 154 to 127.
Senior Neil Caskey continued his dominant year by winning both the 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard freestyle, with times of 48.56 and 1:40.56, respectively. Junior Nick D’Innocenzo also did well, winning the 100-yard backstroke and the
200-yard IM.
Veterans weren’t the only competitors that came up big, as freshman Clay Youngquist placed first in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:49.31, and freshman Kip Darmody won the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:52.32.
Other individual swimming winners for the men were senior Jackson Wilcox in the 1,000-yard freestyle and sophomore Patrick Murphy in the 500-yard freestyle.
