MORE ON THE LONGHORNS: Texas returns 29 letterwinners from the 2012-13 squad that won the Big 12 Championship and placed fifth at the NCAA Championships.
Juniors Clay Youngquist and Kip Darmody have helped the Horns to NCAA titles in relay events. Darmody and Youngquist teamed up with former Longhorns Dax Hill and Neil Caskey to win the 800 freestyle relay at the 2012 NCAA Championships. Youngquist joined Hill and former Longhorns Austin Surhoff and Jimmy Feigen to claim the 2012 NCAA title in the 400 freestyle relay. Seniors Charlie Moore and Caleb Weir, junior Tripp Cooper and sophomore John Murray posted All-America finishes on relays at the 2013 NCAA Championships.
Redshirt junior diver Will Chandler made a triumphant return to the sport last season after sitting out the 2011-12 campaign due to the effects of Crohn's Disease, a digestive disorder. The Waco native earned All-America honors in the platform diving event at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Chandler was a finalist in the platform event at the AT&T National Diving Championships in August.
Chandler heads a strong diving corps that includes the likes of sophomore Cory Bowersox and freshman Michael Hixon. As a true freshman, Bowersox earned All-America honors in the one-meter event at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Hixon competed alongside Texas-Ex Troy Dumais in the three-meter synchronized diving event at the FINA World Championships last summer in Barcelona, Spain.
Head coach Eddie Reese begins his 36th season with the Longhorns. Under his guidance, Texas has secured top-three finishes in 27 of 35 NCAA Championship meets. Assistant coach Kris Kubik returns for his 31st season, and diving coach Matt Scoggin, a former Longhorn diver, returns for his 20th season on Reese's coaching staff.
