March 26, 2016 ATLANTA (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV senior Dillon Virva finished his final year at the NCAA Swimming Championships on Saturday at the 2016 NCAA Men's Swimming Championships, held this year at the Herb McAuley Aquatic Center on the Georgia Tech campus.
Virva swam in the 100 Free, and ended up tied in 33rd place with a time of 43.50. This time was a personal best for Virva in the event, an impressive way to conclude his time at UNLV.
The UNLV men's team finished in 35th place for the NCAA Swimming Championships with 9 points for the weekend. This is UNLV's sixth time in the last seven years that they have finished in the top 35.
UNLV Head Coach Bobby Folan said "to finish in the top 35 in the nation was fantastic considering we had three all-Americans taking an Olympic redshirt year. This marks our fourth consecutive year scoring at the NCAA Championships, a streak that we will look to continue next year."
