Texas’ Erica Sullivan posted a nation-leading 500 free this weekend (4:35.88), but she’s got a lot more going on than just swimming. The RTF (Radio-Film-TV) major has been diving into her studies as a filmmaker as well as being a student-athlete at UT.

Sullivan founded a student org called the “Longhorn Pride Alliance” and last year was awarded the “Rising Star” honor by the Human Rights Campaign. However, Sullivan was unable to accept the award at the HRC ceremony as she had to go compete in open water that weekend. Sullivan was able to go to the ceremony this year and accept her award in person.
