The Big Ten Conference has named their female Swimmers and Diver of the Week for December 16th. With only two of the conference’s teams in action last week, Emma Sougstad from Iowa earned Swimmer of the Week after going four-for-four against Iowa State, including a lifetime best of 1:00.14 i the 100 yard breaststroke.
Diver of the Week (Anna Filipic) and Freshman of the week (Jordan Ehly) both went to the Nebraska women. That is Filipic’s third Diver of the Week honor this season, and the fourth won by any Nebraska diver.
