GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Sophomore Kieran Smith was named the Southeastern Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week as the league announced its weekly award winners on Tuesday.
Smith earns his second Swimmer of the Week accolade on the season after posting a pair of individual wins during No. 9 Florida's home-opening victory over the No. 14 Georgia Bulldogs on Nov. 1.
In the 200 free, Smith hit the wall in a new personal-best swim of 1:34.08, beating the field by almost three full seconds. The swim is currently the fastest time for the event in the country this season and secured him a B-cut.
Competing in the 100 fly for the first time in his collegiate career, the sophomore won the event with a swim of 47.90.
He was also a member of Florida's winning 400 relay team that posted a combined swim of 2:57.06 (43.55 split).
The Ridgefield, Conn. native garnered conference accolades on Oct. 15 after posting the top 100 free, 200 free and 200 IM swims in the Gators' dual win at Minnesota.
Florida will be back in the water as they welcome No. 15 Florida State to Gainesville for the Sunshine Showdown on Nov. 8 at 2:00 p.m.
