Missouri\u2019s Jack Dahlgren, Kentucky\u2019s Riley Gaines Named 2022 SEC Scholar-Athletes of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

Missouri\u2019s Jack Dahlgren<\/strong> and Riley Gaines<\/strong> of Kentucky were named the 2022 SEC Scholar Athletes of the Year on Friday, the conference announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dahlgren, a senior from Victoria, Minn., has a 3.878 in Missouri\u2019s mechanical engineering undergrad\/graduate program. He\u2019s been named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and Dean\u2019s List in each of his nine semesters. A six-time Honorable Mention All-America and a first-teamer last year, Dahlgren has qualified for NCAAs all three of his college seasons.<\/p>\n

Dahlgren was fifth in the men\u2019s 200 freestyle at SECs and is the eighth seed in the 100 backstroke Friday night. He holds top-15 times in the nation in the 200 free, 200 back and 100 free.<\/p>\n

Gaines helped Kentucky win its first SEC team title in 2021, winning the 200 free, swimming on the winning 800 free relay and taking part in two bronze-medal-winning medley relays. The 800 free relay took home a silver medal from NCAAs last year, while Gaines finished second in the 200 free.<\/p>\n

Gaines repeated as the 200 freestyle champ on Thursday<\/a> and took home the 200 fly on Friday.<\/p>\n

A native of Gallatin, Tenn., the senior health sciences major carries a 3.876 GPA. This season, Gaines is the ninth-fastest swimmer in the nation in the 200 free and is also in the top 20 in the 200 fly and 100 free. She\u2019s a five-time All-America and three-time Honorable Mention All-America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
