Another gold medal performance came from diver Bryden Hattie, who scored an impressive 457.10. It was his second career gold medal. The four-time conference diver of the week is also an SEC for the third time. He won diver of the week.

Crooks had a phenomenal week in College Station. The 11-time conference medal winner won swimmer of the week.
