Four swimmers received awards at yesterday’s swimming and diving banquet.

Senior co-captain Amy Gruber received the Tammy Thomas MVP award. Gruber recently qualified for the 2008 Olympic Trials at this year’s NCAA Championships. The qualification topped Gruber’s four years of success at Kansas, including being named first team academic all-Big 12. In November, www.collegeswimming.com named Gruber National Swimmer of the Week, as well as Big 12 Swimmer of the Month in November.

Senior co-captain Miranda Isaac received the Karen Dionne award in memory of KU breaststroker Karen Dionne. Isaac received the Dionne award for being the most inspirational member of the swimming and diving team.

Senior Aly Colver was the recipient of the Academic Award for recognition of her excellence in academics. Colver received the award for having a high cumulative grade point average and having more than 50 percent of her graduate credits. Colver was one of two women in Big 12 swimming and diving to record a 4.0 during the fall semester.

Freshman Terri Schramka received the Kansas Swimming Newcomer of the Year award. Schramka was a member of the school record setting 800 meter freestyle relay team at the Big 12 Championships. She was also a major contributor in the 100, 200, 500 and 1000 freestyle events as well as the 100 and 200 backstroke events.

Coach Clark Campbell also announced the 2005-2006 season team captains: Gina Gnatzig and Emily.
