BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –

Four members of Kentucky’s men’s swimming and diving team earned All-Southeastern Conference honors for their second place finish in the 200-freestyle relay at the conference meet.

Seniors Elvis Burrows, Alex Forbes, Kyle Greene and Eric McGinnis were tabbed to the All-SEC second team after a tremendous second-place finish in the 200-free relay.

McGinnis, Forbes, Burrows and Greene charted a time of 1:17.76 in their runner-up finish in the 200-free relay. The time is an NCAA `B’ qualifying time standard and just missed UK’s 1:17.48 school record time.

Burrows was the third leg and tapped in a time of 19.29 with Greene anchoring with a time of 19.45 for the exciting finish.
