IRVING, Texas (November 9, 2017) -- Following its dominant performance last weekend against Illinois, FIU earned both a Co-Swimmer of the Week (Naomi Ruele) and the Diver of the Week (Rachel Foord) by Conference USA, the league announced this week.
Junior Naomi Ruele (Gaborone, Botswana) won all three individual events and swam a leg of four winning relay events as FIU defeated Illinois by nearly 100 points in a two-day home meet last weekend at the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Center in North Miami. Among her accomplishments, she swam the anchor leg for FIU in the 400 Free Relay to end the Friday session, with a 3:47.
