MEN'S SWIMMER OF THE WEEK: Fedor Mironov, Lake Superior State
At the Shark Invitational at Nova Southeastern, Fedor Mironov competed in one of the best fields in NCAA Division II. Mironov, racing against full internationals, won the 100 Yard Freestyle race by tying Nova Southeastern's Gavin Lindley. He beat Lynn University's Maurice Grabowski, who broke the NCAA Division II 100 Yard Individual Medley record during the weekend, surging past him with tremendous resolve in the back half of the race. The time won the race, stamped Mironov's personal best in the event and marked the second time this season that Mironov has hit the NCAA "B" qualification in the event. Mironov also finished third in the 50 Yard Freestyle, with a time of 20.13, rounding out his stellar weekend.
WOMEN'S SWIMMER OF THE WEEK: Lucy Hedley, Grand Valley State
In a dual at nationally-ranked Tampa, Lucy Hedley claimed first place for the Lakers in the 100 freestyle, touching the wall at 49.78.
