Cammile Adams is a two-time U.S. Olympian who enjoyed a stellar four-year swimming career in Aggieland.<\/p>\n

A 10-time All-American, Adams won a pair of individual NCAA Championships and earned six conference titles, including two 200 fly crowns in both the Big 12 and the SEC.<\/p>\n

Adams is one of just two Aggies to ever repeat as an NCAA Champion after posting the fastest time in the 200 fly in 2013 and 2014. She remains the school record holder in the 200 fly with a time of 1:52.19 set at the 2014 SEC Championships. The Cypress, Texas, native earned Big 12 titles in the 500 free in 2011 and 400 IM in 2012.<\/p>\n

Midway through her collegiate career, Adams represented the United States at the 2012 Olympics in London, finishing fifth in the 200 fly. Four years later, she served as a captain for Team USA on the women\u2019s side at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Internationally, she also earned gold at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships and silver at the 2015 World Championships in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n

Adams helped the Aggies win a team Big 12 title in 2012 along with finishing as conference runner-up her other three seasons. She also led a contingent that recorded program best fourth-place finishes at the NCAA Championships in 2013 and 2014.<\/p>\n

After her competitive career, Adams continues to spread the joy of her sport, owning six SafeSplash Swim Schools around the Houston area.<\/p>\n

Adams was inducted into the Texas Swimming & Diving Hall of Fame in October 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
