🔼 Always on Top. The swim and dive team is still swimming away at the SEC Championships this week. The Cats set five top-10 times, 15 personal bests and seven new “B-Cuts.” Carson Hick set a top-10 program time twice in the 500 yard freestyle. He is the second fastest swimmer in the event in Kentucky history.

We like Numbers. The softball team is headed to the Palmetto State with a ranking beside its name! Four different organizations gave them rankings, and D1 Softball’s is the highest.
