After earning swimmer of the year honors with Swim Team Pocatello for four years, Ben Iannacone is now making a splash collegiately at Texas Christian University in Forth Worth, Texas.

In his first season competing for the Horned Frogs, Iannacone, now a sophomore, recorded the third-best individual time (1 minute, 42.94 seconds) in the 200-meter freestyle for TCU. He had the fourth-best time (21.02) in the 50-meter freestyle, as well.

The Horned Frogs finished fifth as a team at the Mountain West Conference championships.

So far this season, Iannacone has played a key role on TCU's relay teams, as he's been a part of the fastest times in the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle relays. His 400 freestyle relay team finished first at a Nov. 15 dual meet at the University of Wyoming in a time of 3:10.43, and his 200 team took first during a Jan. 9 dual meet against Utah in 1:25.41.

On Feb. 25, the Horned Frogs will open the Mountain West championships in Oklahoma City.
