INDIANAPOLIS (SMU) – Junior Jonathan Gomez wrapped up his first NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships with the Mustangs, earning a 17th-place finish, and first alternate status, in the 200-yard butterfly on Saturday.

Gomez finished 17th overall in the event's preliminary round, placing him outside the Consolation Final (16th place), in a time of 1:42.15. He also competed in heats of the 400-yard individual medley on Friday, posting his fastest preliminary time of the season at 3:48.78.

Gomez was named the American Athletic Conference's Most Outstanding Swimmer of the 2017 championships following his three meet and school record-breaking performances. Gomez's 500 free time of 4:17.68 narrowly came in under the previous record set in 2015, while his time in the 400 IM of 3:43.97 came in under the record of 3:46.01 set in 1992. In the 200 fly, he lowered a standard of 1:44.43 that had stood since 1984, covering the distance in 1:41.98. He was twice named the conference swimmer of the week during the 2016-17 season.

The 2017 Championships conclude NCAA competition for the Mustangs, who placed second at the American Athletic Conference Championships in February. Six individuals and five relays picked up all-conference accolades, and the team was, once again, named a CSCAA Scholar All-America team for its work in the classroom. Overall, the team posted 13 times under the NCAA B cut.

Select Mustangs head to the Arena Pro Swim Series Mesa April 14-16.
