A Tower Of Strength
\nAt 6-9, Texas swimmer Clark<\/strong> Smith<\/strong>\u2014literally\u2014 towers over his competition. At NCAAs later this month, he\u2019ll return not only to defend his 500 free title, but also to help his Longhorn teammates repeat as national champions. If they do, the UT Tower on campus will be lit completely in\u00a0orange and will display the #1 on all four sides of the 307-foot landmark.<\/p>\n

Smith’s feature highlights his parents achievements and how both John and Tori Smith, an NCAA champion and Olympian respectively, have supported their son from the beginning and put the focus not on winning, but on whether or not their son is enjoying the sport.<\/p>\n
