KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Vol swimming and diving team and rising junior Ryan Harrison picked up post-season accolades as the results of the 2010-11 College Swimming and Diving Honors were recently released by CollegeSwimmingAwards.com.
As a team, the Big Orange was tabbed as one of eight "Male Break Out Teams" after a strong showing at the NCAA Championships, where the Vols finished 12th. At the national meet, the Vols had 10 student-athletes achieve All-America status in 11 events.
A native of Londonderry, Northern Ireland, Harrison was one of eight male swimmers selected as a "Break-Out Swimmer." At the Southeastern Conference Championships, he won the 200y free with a UT record-setting time, was a member of the runner-up 800y free relay squad, broke the UT record in the 500y free, swam a leg of the third-place 400y medley relay and won 100y free consolation final.
