Sims secured SEC Women's Freshman of the Week, while Gesing was named Co-SEC Men's Diver of the Week along with Allen Bottego from Texas A&M.

Her 52.64 is the second fastest time in the nation for the 100 back. On the relay side, she swam a 25.39 as the lead off in the 200-medley relay that finished first with a time of 1:41.1. It is the first honor in her young collegiate career.
