Duo Earns Honor For First Time This Season

Jan. 12, 2016

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (SMU/AAC) – Marne Erasmus and Lauren Lamb swept the American Athletic Conference weekly swimming and diving awards following their performances against No. 5 Texas A&M, league officials announced on Tuesday. This is the first honor for each this season.

Erasmus competed in butterfly events for the Mustangs, while also contributing to finishes in the 400 medley and 200 freestyle relays. Her highest individual placement was third in the 100-yard butterfly as she was narrowly out-touched by .3 seconds to finish in 54.81. In the 200 distance, Erasmus secured fourth-place points clocking a 2:07.25

In relay action, the junior was the second leg in the 200 free posting a 24.20 split to help the Mustangs to a runner-up finish. In the 400 medley, Erasmus swam the third-fastest fly split for SMU’s A relay.

Lamb, a junior out of San Antonio, placed third in both the 1- and 3-meter in the meet against the Aggies. She was also the lone diver to represent the Mustangs at the highly competitive Georgia Diving Invite, which included top divers from the SEC, Big Ten and ACC. Her highest placement at the Invite was 35th in platform.

Erasmus joins a select group of Mustangs at the Austin Grand Prix Jan. 15-17, while the team is back in action Feb. 5 when they host North Texas in dual action.
