The Texas Longhorns came to the SEC, the Texas Longhorns saw an 11-year streak by the Florida men, and the Texas Longhorns conquered a new league at the 2025 SEC Swimming & Diving Championships.

    The Texas men have won every swimming & diving championships Big 12 Championships that has ever happened, amounting to 28, and now have a streak of 46 consecutive conference titles across the defunct Southwest Conference (17), Big 12 (28), and now SEC (1).

    Prior to the Eddie Reese era, winning his first SWC title in 1980, it had been a 25 year drought, with SMU winning every title from 1957 through 1979.

    The new Longhorn era was ushered in by a new coaching staff, led by new head coach Bob Bowman, who has revitalized a roster that might not have won this meet if the transition had been made a year earlier.

    Via transfers and mid-season additions like Hubert Kos and Chris Guiliano, Bowman has reshaped the Longhorns this season and kept the streak alive over a Florida team who saw their run of 11 consecutive conference championship meets end on Saturday.

    2025 SEC Men’s Swimming & Diving Championship Standings

    Texas- 1474.5 Florida- 1325 Tennessee- 977.5 Georgia- 796.5 Texas A&M- 790 Alabama- 667 LSU- 579 Auburn- 554.5 Kentucky- 431.5 Missouri- 362.5 South Carolina- 338

    Stanford transfer Rex Maurer won the SEC Commissioner’s Cup Trophy by leading the meet with 91 individual points out of a possible 96. Maurer blew away best times this season in his first year in Austin.

    Unlike prior versions of Texas men’s squads, diving was not a front-runner for the Longhorns at this meet, though the divers were crucial to the results – their 173.5 points were more than the Longhorns’ 149.5-point margin of victory.

    While the Florida men’s streak ended, it was not all losses for them. They didn’t have the depth to keep up with Texas after the unexpected loss of swimmers like McGuire McDuff, Adam Chaney, and Olympian Luke Whitlock, but they had some of the biggest moments of the meet, including a mind-bending 2:55 in the 400 medley relay, crushing the NCAA Record.

    While the win is a new tradition under a new coach and with a lot of new faces, one old tradition burns strong on the Forty Acres: the University of Texas Tower was illuminated in orange, as it has been since 1937 to celebrate special occasions like conference championships.
