COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - San Diego State sophomore Anika Apostalon has been named Mountain West Swimmer of the Week for competition completed through Sunday, January 11. It is the third MW weekly honor for Apostalon this season and the sixth of her career.
Apostalon (Albuquerque, N.M. / Albuquerque Academy) led the Aztecs to a pair of victories in a double-dual home meet last week against Nevada (132-112) and Rice (140-104). During the meet she recorded two individual event wins and two relay victories.
Apostalon won the 100-yard freestyle (49.74) with an NCAA `B'-cut qualifying mark. The time was also a new Aztec Aquaplex record. In addition she captured first in the 100-yard backstroke as well with a time of 55.92, second-fastest time in the history of the pool.
Apostalon was also a member of two winning relays teams. She swam the leadoff leg of the 200-yard medley relay that recorded a time of 1:43.48, the second-fastest time in pool history. She was also on the winning 400-yard freestyle relay that turned in the fourth-best time in Aztec Aquaplex history at 3:27.16.
Up next for the San Diego State swimming and diving team is a dual meet at the University of San Diego on Friday, Jan. 23, at noon at the USD Sports Center Pool.
