SAN ANTONIO – For the third meet in a row North Texas swim and dive came out on top as meet winners.

A strong finish to the season marks the best regular season under head coach Brittany Roth. North Texas' focus now shifts to Conference USA competitions in February. The Mean Green finishes the regular season with a new program best 6-2 record. 
 
"This is huge for our senior class," Roth said. "These girls have done a great job all season working together and competing together. The attitude of us versus everyone. I thought they came together and battled."
 
TCU and Incarnate Word both feature men's programs, adding to the amount of time between races for the Mean Green.
 
"The extra time can mess up our girl's rhythm. They handled it well," Roth said.

"It's every coach's dream to have people you can move around in different events," Roth said. "It's great. They get to race different events and show all their strengths."
