CLEVELAND, Miss. - Henderson State swimming's Kiara Pozvai and Lamar Taylor were named the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference Female and Male Performers of the Year, the conference announced Tuesday.

Pozvai became the first female in Henderson State Athletics history to capture a National Title in any sport in addition to claiming two more Top-5 finishes at Nationals while Taylor claimed what was at the time his fifth career National Championship.

The Freeport, Bahamas, native would add one more to his illustrious career before the week was over, thus making him the most decorated athlete in Henderson State Athletics history.
