In West Lafayette, Ind. this past weekend, the Texas A&M women’s swimming and diving team finished sixth at the National Championships at Purdue University.
The win for Wilkinson was the icing on what has been an illustrious career at A&M. The Canadian native finished her four years with 23 All-America citations and 19 Big 12 Championships. The win was especially bittersweet after missing last season due to a shoulder injury.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for two years,”Wilkinson said.”It was pretty spectacular to hit the wall and hear my name; [because] last year was pretty rough.”
Atkinson finishes her career with 19 All-America citations and 10 Big 12 Championships.
Senior Kristin Heiss also capped off her career at A&M with a respectable showing at the meet finishing sixth in the 200-yard backstroke.
