Swimmer of the Week
Mike Alexandrov, Northwestern
SO, Champaign, Ill./Centennial
Alexandrov broke two pool records and won three events during Friday's dual meet action against Iowa to help lead the Wildcats to a 171-131 victory over the Hawkeyes. The sophomore touched first in an NCAA provisional time of 3:50.23 in the 400-yard individual medley and cruised to a win in the 200-yard breaststroke with an "A" cut time, 1:57.06, both of which were pool records. Alexandrov claimed his third title of the day after winning the 500-yard freestyle in 4:35.57.
This is Alexandrov's second weekly accolade of his career.
