Swimmers-of-the-Year.- The pair, along with eight additional men and
twenty-three women, was also named to the Mid-Major All-American team.The group earned the honor based on their qualification for the 2012 NCAA Division I Swimming Championships.

Christensen finished among the top ten in both the 100 and 200-yard-breaststroke events.
An additional 130 male and 121 female swimmers were awarded Honorable Mention status.- Honorable mention selections are swimmers who were entered with NCAA ‘B’ standards, but not selected for the 2012 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. Those 251 swimmers represented eighty teams at fifty-nine sixty-two schools.
