The 59th Men's Hall of Honor class will be inducted in a Sept. 25 ceremony at the Frank Erwin Center.
Brendan Hansen is one of the most accomplished swimmers to compete for The University of Texas. He's a three-time Olympic gold medalist, former world record holder, 13-time NCAA champion, and, while swimming for the Longhorns from 2001-2004, he helped lead Texas to two NCAA team titles.
Yet, Hansen is quick to credit his teammates for putting him in positions to succeed.
"I swam with a lot of guys at Texas that had those same aspirations and goals, and we built momentum through the season to get to those points," said Hansen, the first men's swimmer to sweep the 100 and 200 breaststroke events at four consecutive NCAA Championship meets.
