UT Tower lighting set for Tuesday evening, March 30 UT Tower to be lit in burnt orange with the number '1' on all four sides in recognition of Texas Men's Swimming and Diving's 10th NCAA team crown. March 29, 2010 AUSTIN, Texas -- The UT Tower will be drenched in burnt orange lighting with the number "1" lit on each side Tuesday evening, March 30 in recognition of the University of Texas men's swimming and diving team's victory at the NCAA Championships. Per UT tradition, the campus landmark is bathed in burnt orange lighting from top to bottom with the number "1" lit on all four sides when a University of Texas athletics team wins a NCAA team championship. The Texas women's indoor track and field team most recently lit the UT Tower in that fashion in 2006. The Longhorns captured their 10th NCAA team crown under 32nd-year head coach Eddie Reese on Sunday, March 28 in Columbus, Ohio. Texas utilized nine top-eight finishes on the final to power past California en route to the title. UT totaled 500 points and finished 30.5 points ahead of second-place California after trailing the Golden Bears by 18.5 points through day two of the three-day meet. Texas claimed one individual title and one relay crown at the NCAA Championships. Freshman Austin Surhoff became the second Longhorn to win the 200-yard individual medley, and the UT quartet of junior Scott Jostes, senior Dave Walters, sophomore Neil Caskey and senior Ricky Berens secured Texas' second straight NCAA title in the 800-yard freestyle relay.
