Arcila was named AAC Swimmer of the Week for the second time this season after a dominating performance against No. 6 Texas and No. 11 Arizona. Arcila recorded four of the six first place finishes for SMU against UT and Arizona, including first in the 50-yard freestyle, the 200-yard and 400-yard freestyle relays, and the 200-yard medley relay. Arcila’s first place finish in the 50-yard freestyle was a personal best for the senior and she also placed second in three other events.

Arcila is a five-time NCAA All-American, and the Columbian-Californian also qualified for the Pan American Games in the 50-meter freestyle. Catch Arcila and the Mustangs in the pool again Friday, Feb. 6 at 5 p.m. as they head north to compete against UNT and on Saturday at a time trial that will be Senior Day for Arcila and seven other swimming Mustangs.
