AUSTIN -- After three days of intense competition at the NCAA Championships, the BYU men's swimming and diving team finished the meet as the No. 22 team in the country.
"It was a great opportunity for us to go and compete," said head coach Tim Powers. "This is the fastest meet in the world."
Senior diver Aaron Russell had a strong showing for the Cougars as he earned First-team All-America honors in the 1-M event and Second-team All-America honors in the 3-M. Russell claimed fourth place in the 1-M for his best finish in his collegiate career.
Divers Justin Beardall and Scott Randall also performed well at the Championships. Beardall, a senior, claimed the 21st place position in the 3-M and the 18th spot in the 1-M event, only two spots off of the Second-team All-America mark. Randall, a freshman, turned in a 29th place finish in the 3-M and 25th finish in the 1-M.
Junior swimmer Randy Belliston, in his first NCAA Championship meet, swam to a 28th place finish in the 400 IM, a 37th place finish in the 200 breast, and a 34th place finish in the 200 IM.
"It's exciting to see the team do so well," said Powers.
