Florida became the second school since 2008 to win all four weekly Southeastern Conference awards after a stellar meet against Tennessee on Saturday and a sweep of Indian River State College on Sunday.
Senior Conor Dwyer took SEC Male Swimmer of the Week for a record fifth time this season, and freshman Elizabeth Beisel earned SEC Female Swimmer of the Week for a record fourth. The SEC Male and Female Freshman of the Week honors went to Marcin Cieslak and Hilda Luthersdottir.
“It’s always good having quality athletes, and [the award] was well deserved in all four parts,” UF coach Gregg Troy said.
Troy said the meet against Tennessee, UF’s most lopsided dual victory over the Volunteers in history, showed how talented the Gators are.
Dwyer was also named the Counsilman-Hunsaker National Collegiate Male Swimmer of the Week for Jan. 25-31 by CollegeSwimming.com. He broke this season’s NCAA record in the 400-yard individual medley with a time of 3:44.73 against Tennessee.
