NEC SWIMMER/ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Beatriz Gomes Angelo, St. Francis Brooklyn
Fr., Belo Horizonte, Brazil / Colegio Marista Dom Silverio
Gomes Angelo, who earned a co-rookie of the week award earlier this month, stands as the NEC’s top weekly honoree this time around. En-route to securing the NEC Swimmer of the Week honor and the rookie award to boot, the Brazilian-born Terrier posted two league-leading times at a multi-meet hosted by MAAC member Iona. The freshman's 1,000-yard freestyle time (10:30.73) is more than 1.2 seconds better than the NEC’s second-place mark. Gomes Angelo finished the 500 free at Iona in 5:08.74, overtaking the previous NEC leader by 0.5 second.
NEC DIVER OF THE WEEK
Adrianna Warning, Wagner
Jr., Henderson, NV /Coronado/Indian River State College
Wagner’s junior transfer burst onto the scene by winning two events while setting a program record at Iona’s quad meet. Winning the 3-meter diving event, Warning shattered Wagner’s program record by more than two points with her 256.50 score. Warning’s 3-meter point total ranks as the second-highest in the NEC this season. Helping the Seahawks claim the meet title, she also won the 1-meter dive with a 231.05 showing.
