AUSTIN, Texas – Hailey Hernandez and Anna Elendt earned Big 12 Weekly Honors after a strong showing on the road against No. 1 Virginia.
For the third time this season, Hernandez was tabbed with Big 12 Diver of the Week honors after etching her way into more history this season. She opened the weekend winning the 1-meter with a pool record score of 333.00 points against the defending National Champions Virginia. She went on to finish second in the 3-meter behind her teammate with 357.98 points, just 7.42 behind first.
Elendt had a busy weekend in the pool, helping Texas to three second-place finishes in relays and the 100 breaststroke. The fifth-fastest 200 medley relay sits at 1:37.11 where Elendt swam the second leg for the Longhorns. The 400 medley relay saw Texas finish with the No. 4 time in the NCAA at 3:32.82. Her time of 59.33 ranks as the No. 6 time recorded this season in the nation and later added a third-place finish in the 200 breaststroke.
The Longhorns return to action on Nov. 18-20 for the Texas Diving Invitational.
