Despite representing different schools at the NCAA level, these four young men were all once part of the TM Swimming & Diving program. This past weekend they were able to reunite & compete against one another at the 2023 Trinity University Invitational in San Antonio, Texas.

Junior Kathe Hepfer was a double-winner (1&3-meter boards) as The UT Permian Basin women's swimming & diving team lost 101-173 to DI Incarnate Word. Additional wins came from Carleigh Castillo 200-yard breaststroke (3:03.09) and Emma Gerhart 200-yard butterfly (2:17.47).

UTPB came away with four 1st place finishes: Trevor Heath in the 50-yard freestyle (21.72),Nathan Powell 200-yard breaststroke (2:14.48), Owen Putnam 200-yard butterfly (1:59.28) and sophomore Carter Wood on the 1-meter board (334.35), as they fell 111-174 to DI Incarnate Word.

@mikeanzano Thank you Mike and Luke! We love it when our alumni coaches and other Alumni come out and support us and their COM swimmers and diver alumni! Your daughter and son are super cute and I look forward to them getting to know our team!!!

This is how I share the love of swimming with my daughter. This video will warm your swim coach heart. I went to a little college intrasquad meet and let her hang out with the team. She even met a friend she wanted to cheer on. Also, good luck to @UTPBSwimDive this year. GO FALCONS
