Steward - Lady Bruins - Excelling at KU

Share on RSS

 

Now to a former Lady Bruin who had major success in college swimming late last month.

Kate Steward was a two-time Big 12 champion at the Big 12 championships, as she led the University of Kansas to its best finish in the conference in program history.

Steward is one of four Lady Bruins in the KU swim program. It was the 100 and 200 meter backstroke, which brought Steward to glory. She talks about her weekend at the Big 12 Championships.

Steward broke two KU records with her times in those events. Texas won the team title, which is usually a formality at the conference meet. Steward talks about what it is like having so many Bartlesville teammates in one spot in Lawrence, swimming at the NCAA Division I level.

Up next for Steward, the Olympic trials, which will be in Omaha in late-June.

We will have more looking ahead to that event for Steward later on this week.
