Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

Former Bartlesville High school swimmer and University of Kansas star Kate Steward is again making news with some big-time hardware.

Steward was selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII Team by the organization on Thursday.

Steward excelled in the pool setting the school record in the 200-yard Individual Medley at the 2021 Big 12 Championships with a final time of 1:58.00 to place second during her junior campaign. She also finished second in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:01.24) and 200-yard breaststroke (2:10.86) at the Big 12 Championships to qualify for the Olympic Trials, which she swam in a couple of weeks ago. 

Earlier this week, Steward was honored for the third time by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America as a Scholar All-America honorable mention.
