The UT Tower will be lit in burnt orange with a numeral “1” on all four sides this evening (March 27) to commemorate the Texas men’s swimming and diving program’s 12^th NCAA team title.

Per campus tradition, the University recognizes UT sports programs with a burnt orange lighting of the campus landmark with the numeral “1” appearing on the building’s four sides when a Longhorns team claims a NCAA team title.

Saturday evening, Texas won its second consecutive national title and 12^th overall, good for No. 1 all-time alongside Michigan. UT head coach Eddie Reese passed former Ohio State coach Mike Peppe for No. 1 all-time with his 12 NCAA men’s swimming and diving team titles.
