Texas returned 14 All-Americans, three NCAA individual champions, and depth in key areas. This year, the team depended less on freshmen and more on experience. The swimmers are motivated to peak at the right time because two weeks prior to the NCAA meeting, the qualifiers of the Olympics are decided. The leaders of the team are Katy Arris, Julie Cooper, and Dorsey Tierney. Ericka Hansen helped the team produce the strongest distance team ever at Texas. The breaststroke, led by Dorsey, is a deep event for the Horns, but the backstroke is the deepest event, with Jodi Wilson and Beth Barr leading the way. Schubert says “I expect the 1992 NCAA championship to be one of the best ever.” “The competition will be tougher and there should be some great times following the Olympic try-outs.
The Horns won their 8th national championship by the closest margin in the NCAA's history: Texas 632, Stanford 622.5. The team record before championship play is 9-1.
Leigh Ann Fetter is the first woman in the history of swimming to break the 22-second barrier in the 50 freestyle. The National Championship came down to the 400 freestyle relay. Texas is behind after the first three swimmers, but Fetter came thru, and the Longhorns are national champion
Texas won the national championship over Stanford by 9.5 points. It was the 6th national championship in seven years. Gold medalist Janet Evans swam for Stanford.
