Levi Sandidge stole the show at swim and dive NCAA Championships in Minneapolis over the weekend.

The Kentucky freshman earned First-Team All American honors for the 1650 freestyle.

Sandidge certainly had the numbers to back up the prestigious nomination. He finished the 1650 freestyle at 14:40.05, which was good for a sixth place result.

Sandidge’s place was the highest finish for a Kentucky swimmer in over 10 years.

The accomplishments only continued to pile on for Sandidge as the season went on. In February, he became the first UK male swimmer to win an SEC Championship in 17 years.
