KAZAN, RUSSIA — Tar Heel Swimmer Stephanie Peacock is making noise in the pool. Peacock snagged her second medal of the 2013 World University Games on Monday. This time, she paired a little bit of silver with her gold.

Placing second in the 800-meter freestyle event after winning a gold medal in the 1500-meter freestyle on Saturday was an impressive feat for Peacock.

In fact, Peacock just missed seeing more gold on Monday as she touched the wall just .12 behind Martina de Memme of Italy. And Peacock wasn’t the only American on the podium. Ashley Steenvoorden of the USA picked up the bronze medal on Monday and was runner-up to Peacock on Saturday.

“We’re extremely proud of what Stephanie has accomplished at the World University Games,” said UNC head coach Rich DeSelm.  “The amount of racing she has done in the past four days at the meet has been a formidable task and she has excelled at an elite level, winning a gold and a silver for the USA and representing Carolina in a first-class manner.  She has one more race ahead and I know her focus in the next 24 hours will be outstanding as she seeks a third medal.”

Peacock is the first Tar Heel to win multiple medals at an international swimming competition since Whitney Sprague in 2009.

Peacock’s last race will be in the 400-meter freestyle set to go on Tuesday.
