POST-MEET COMMENTS
Texas head coach Eddie Reese
On winning his 10th NCAA championship: I never really count numbers. It’s always a 15 to 18 to 19-man effort that does it. To get everybody headed in the right direction in early September, that takes trust on their side and takes trust on the coaching staff’s side. Swimmers and divers are such good kids that it’s hard to not enjoy it and not have success, win or lose. Cal can be upset about not winning, but they had the meet of their lives. I’m not sure I want to see them have this kind of meet ever again (laughs). We never set a goal to win (before the season). We set a goal to get better and try to figure out what it takes to get better. But, I’m a bit of a purist and I would love to see them work real hard and go real fast, and then whatever the team score comes out , that’s great. It really helps to win because it doesn’t happen very often.
On the key factor in winning the meet: The key to the meet was the morning of the second day because Cal had the best second-day morning (at an NCAA Championship) I have ever seen in this sport. We stayed fairly close to them, and if we hadn’t stayed close to them, then it would have been totally over. We would have had no chance. They could have given Cal the trophy that night. There was no way to make up a whole lot on Cal tonight. The third day is always a tough day.
On the divers’ success: The divers pay the same price we do and they work hard. Everybody wants to come here and perform. That’s the name of the game. It’s a moderately simple equation. They did a great job.
On rallying to win on the meet’s final day: This was one of our best final days, ever. The only thing special about it was the people that were doing the swims. The last day is a fatigue day. If you looked at the 400 freestyle relays in the prelims, California went with their best four guys just to not take a chance. We went with our best four guys.
On whether this NCAA title is more special than others: It’s always about people and effort for me. If you’re going to win an NCAA championship, you’ve got to have real good people who make great efforts on days they don’t want to, when they’re not feeling well. All that kind of stuff goes into it. I don’t remember the others (national championships), but I can tell you what their times were when they came to school and what they were when they graduated. Those are the important things. It’s what they give.
Senior Ricky Berens
On winning the national championship: It’s what every college athlete dreams of, to win the NCAA championship. That’s what you train for every single day. We worked so hard every single day for the last four years, and we knew were not going to come up short. To go out like this is amazing. All of the seniors…we’re all such a close-knit group, a bunch of brothers. It’s just something very special we talked about…winning the NCAA championship. We often watched past NCAA Championships and saw all the Texas guys from 2001 and 2002, when they won NCAA titles. We wanted to feel what they felt when they jumped in the pool together after winning the national championship. We wanted it.
On Texas swinging the momentum back in its favor during prelims: The whole NCAA meet is a roller coaster. Every single team goes up and down the whole meet. Cal won those relays early on, and they gained momentum the whole second day. Then, we won the 800 freestyle relay and took away the momentum. We went into the last day really pumped. We had a meeting today before prelims. We discussed how we were tired of getting second place and that we were going to get it done right now in the prelims.

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.

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.
