2024 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS

Tonight’s final session of the 2024 Big 12 Championships will feature a lot of “lasts.”

It will be the last Big 12 Championships for the University of Texas Longhorns before they join the Southeastern Conference next season. The Texas men have won the conference championship every year since the conference came into existence, so they’ll be going for win 28 tonight. The women have won 21 titles, and haven’t lost since 2012, when Texas A&M won prior to departing for the SEC.

It will also be the last session of the last conference championship for longtime Texas men’s coach Eddie Reese, who will be retiring after this season.

It also may be the last conference championship for senior likes Olivia Bray of Texas and Hunter Gubeno of Cincinnati, the top seeds in the 200 back, or Longhorn Anna Elendt, the top seed in the 200 breast (although some seniors may return for a fifth year of eligibility).

But it could also be a night of “firsts.” A host of freshmen or Big 12 newcomers could be in the hunt for their first Big 12 titles in tonight’s events. That lists Longhorn freshmen Will Modglin (200 back), Nate Germonprez and Camden Taylor (100 free), and Brayden Taivassalo (200 breast), as well as TCU freshman Guilherme Camossato (200 breast), and conference newcomer Jordan Tiffany of BYU, who holds the top seed in the 100 free.

Stay tuned for an exciting night of “first,” “lasts,” and great competition.
