FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – Tennessee women's swimming posted two podium finishes and garnered All-America honors in five events on night two of the 2025 NCAA Championships at the Weyerhaeuser Aquatic Center.
Â
Camille Spink had the top performance of the evening for the Big Orange. In the 50 free championship final, the sophomore recorded Tennessee's best finish since 2019, taking fourth overall with a time of 21.27. The last Lady Vol to record a top-5 spot in the event was two-time Olympian and program record holder Erika Brown, who won silver. For Spink, it marked the first individual All-America first team honor of her career.
Â
Two UT swimmers swam in the 200 IM finals. Josephine Fuller earned first team All-America recognition by placing eighth in the championship final with a time of 11:55.77. Sara Stotler threw down the fifth-fastest time in school history, touching the wall in 1:54.28 to take 11th in the event in the consolation final.
Â
Kicking off the night, freshman Ella Jansen competed in the consolation final of the 500 free. She clocked a time of 4:34.62 to win the race and take ninth overall in the event. It marked the fourth time in the last five seasons that a Lady Vol finished top 10 in the event.
Â
Tennessee rounded out the session with a ninth-place finish in the 200 free relay. The lineup of Spink, Mona McSharry, Jillian Crooks and Amber Myers recorded a 1:27.03 effort, which marked the No. 5 time in program history.
