Senior and sophomore swimmers receive awards

Senior swimmer Erin Irons and sophomore Kelly Seely both earned Conference USA performer of the week awards for the week of Oct. 28, the conference office announced earlier this week. Irons has been honored with Swimmer of the Week four times over the course of her career; this is Seely's first Diver of the Week crown.

In her first meet of the season, Irons placed first in the 50 meter freestyle with a time of 23.75 against Florida this past weekend. She also helped the Horned Frogs claim the 200 freestyle relay (1:36.73) with a split time of 24.38. The senior from Midland owns seven school records, including the 50 free (23.25).

Seely best represented TCU diving this weekend, posting a 234.15 for fifth place on the one-meter at the SMU Classic last Saturday, which showcased national talent from SMU, Florida, South Carolina, Washington and Indiana. She collected another 10 points for the Frogs with a score of 239.35 on the three-meter board for another fifth-place finish. In the dual meet against Florida, the sophomore from Friendswood topped the competition with a 262.50 score in the three-meter and placed second in the one-meter with a 253.05 placing.

TCU men's and women's swimming and diving travels to Virginia this weekend to take on George Mason at 6 p.m. Thursday and James Madison at 2 p.m. Friday. The women's team is 1-1 in dual meets this season.
