Texas men hang new 2015 NCAA Champions banner in aquatic center

The Texas Longhorn men, champions of this spring’s men’s NCAA Championships, have a new addition to their home pool: the official 2015 NCAA Champions banner.

Texas Men’s Swimming & Diving’s Twitter account posted a short video of the banner being hung this morning. You can check out that tweet and video below:

This, of course, is the 11th one to hang in the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swim Center, as the Longhorns have won 11 total NCAA titles in the program’s storied history.

With that national title, Head Coach Eddie Reese moved into a tie for the distinction of the NCAA’s winningest coach in Division I history. Reese and former Ohio State skipper Mike Peppe have each won 11 titles.

From our coverage of the NCAA title back in March:

Deep in the heart of Texas Eddie Reese has been coaching the Longhorns since 1978, churning out world-class athletes and creating a historic program which resulted this weekend in tying him as the winningest coach in Division I college swimming.

Tonight’s title marks the 11th for the Texas Longhorns, and the 11th for Reese. The title ties him as the winningest coach in college history with Ohio State’s first coach Mike Peppe who coached from 1931 until 1962.

Reese has succeeded in creating a Texas swimming dynasty throughout the ages. He’s the only coach to have won NCAA team titles in four different decades. It all started when Reese first showed up on the deck at the University of Texas back in 1978.
