INDIANAPOLIS -- Already one of the most decorated student-athletes in school history, Texas A&M swimmer Sarah Gibson received the NCAA's Today's Top 10 Award at the NCAA Convention Wednesday night.

The award recognizes former student-athletes for their successes on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Recipients completed their athletics eligibility during the 2016-17 academic year.

As a competitor, Gibson was a seven-time Southeastern Conference champion and 15-time NCAA All-American (11-time first-team honoree). In 2017, Gibson was the SEC Swimmer of the Meet and recipient of the Commissioner's Trophy, which is awarded to the high-point producer at the SEC Championships.

In the classroom, Gibson was the CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year in 2017, as well as a two-time first-team Academic All-American in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, she was Texas A&M's first winner of the SEC's coveted H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar Athlete of the Year award in 2017 and the 2017 SEC Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year in swimming and diving.

On the world stage, Gibson helped the United States' 400 medley relay to a gold medal at the 2016 FINA World Championships.
