COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Mesa University senior Olivia Hansson closes her career with the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Women’s Swimmer of the Year Award, the league announced Wednesday, along with the league’s other major award winners and All-RMAC rosters.

Colorado Mesa University’s Kenya Meyer repeats as the league’s Diver of the Year, and the Mavericks’ head coach Mickey Wender is the league’s Coach of the Year. Colorado School of Mines Anna Bream is the league’s Freshman of the Year.  

The RMAC awards are selected and voted on by the league’s nine women’s swimming and diving head coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their players. The All-RMAC Teams are based on results at the RMAC Championships, with first and second-place finishers named First Team All-RMAC and third and fourth-place finishers earning Second Team All-RMAC recognition. In all, 56 individual student-athletes were recognized with 144 honors. Colorado Mesa led all women’s teams with 16 student-athletes, claiming 48 All-RMAC honors. Colorado School of Mines (10 student-athletes/28 All-RMAC honors), Colorado State University Pueblo (5/10), Oklahoma Christian University (9/21), Simon Fraser (9/29), and Western Colorado University (6/7) also had individuals named to the All-RMAC teams.

Hansson, from Kivik, Sweden, adds Swimmer of the Year to her resume after being named the RMAC Championships’ Swimmer of the Meet in February. She swept all three distance freestyle events (500, 1,000, and 1,650) at the championship and was a member of the Mavericks’ gold-medal-winning 800 freestyle relay that also broke the championship record with a time of 7:18.27. Hansson followed that with six All-America winning performances at the NCAA Championships, finishing third in the 1,650 freestyle, fourth in the 500 freestyle, and eighth in the 1000 freestyle.

Meyer concluded her stellar career on the diving boards with a silver medal in the 1-meter and a fourth-place finish in the 3-meter competition at the NCAA Championships. The four-time RMAC Championship Diver of the Meet swept both diving titles this season, setting the scoring record in the 1-meter (520.95).

Bream, a Lawrence, Kansas, product, made an impression in her first RMAC Championship, finishing second in the individual scoring race behind Hansson. She won gold medals in the 200 and 400 individual medleys and a silver medal in the 200 breaststroke. Bream also picked up a bronze medal as part of the Orediggers’ 800 freestyle relay team and earned a podium finish in the 100 breaststroke. At the NCAA Championships, she earned All-America honors in the 200 breaststroke, 400 individual medley, and on the 400 and 800 freestyle relay teams.

Wender is the league’s Coach of the Year after leading the Colorado Mesa women’s swimming & diving team to its eighth consecutive RMAC Championship this season. The Mavericks stellar season didn’t stop there, with the women’s team qualifying 14 individuals, five relays, and five divers to the NCAA Championship. Colorado Mesa used that depth to post a third-place finish at the national championship, the fourth consecutive year they have claimed a team trophy as one of the Top 4 teams.
