FRESH FACES
For the spring semester, the Mustangs have added two new swimmers - CJ Kovac from the University of Missouri and freshman Isabella Bedoya.
CJ Kovac joins her brother, Danny, who also transferred into the men's program.
RELAYING THE TIMES
Gudmundsdottir, Lucrezia Napoletano, Indra Vandenbussche and Becerra have frequently represented the Mustangs in the relay team.
The four swimmers finished the 200 free relay with a win in SMU's most recent meet, touching the wall in 1:33.91.
ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Becerra participated in the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile in October of 2023.
While there, she set a new absolute record for Colombia in the 100 meters fly. She touched the wall in 59.21.
Becerra was selected as one of just five women representing the South American country of Colombia.
11 IS HEAVEN
While hosting OCU and UIW, the Mustangs won a total of eleven events.
Gudmundsdottir won three events she competed in, including the 200 medley, 50 free and 400 free relay.
Becerra finished almost two seconds ahead of all other swimmers in the 100 fly, touching the wall in 55.66.
"For them to find ways to race and go about it the way they did, that's pretty good stuff for the future," head coach Ozzie Quevedo said.
IN THE DIVING WELL
Freshman Ava Andersen, senior Jaclynn Fowler and graduate student Nicole Stambo compete for SMU in the diving well.
Nicole Stambo and Jaclynn Fowler earned a one-two punch in the diving well in SMU's most recent meet, placing first and second in both events.
UP NEXT
After the Mustangs' two meets in one weekend, they will return home to host Texas on Friday, Feb. 9 for Senior Day.
