WETSPOTS…. follow our Texas swimmers and divers through the brand new URL: TexasLonghorns.com It’s a clean, modern design and improved site navigation to help our fans find precisely what they’re looking for. Plus, access LHN (Longhorn Network) directly from our website. I also see the Longhorn Network is alive and well as a streaming service…. CDC, T Association and company sure do a first-class job. Hope to catch some meets this season.
Congratulations to Julie Cooper Blimiel on consecutive weekend honors; first as an ‘80s champion at the WETS dinner and then for the Longhorn Hall of Honor Induction last weekend.
Another great email list I am sure you will enjoy is Billy Dale’s excellent The History of Longhorn Sports website and sign up for his newsletter.
Follow the official Longhorn Instagram Mens Swimming or Women’s Swimming and of course, join our WETS Facebook and WETS Instagram to keep up with alumni events and news. Peggy Hollar Little does a great job keeping us informed. …and finally check out the 2024-2025 schedule… Hope to have as many fans as possible this season to cheer on our Tankers!!!
Swimcerely, Bill Robertson ’81 WETS
