BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The SEC announced its weekly honors on Tuesday. Trey Freeman collected his third weekly honor with the SEC Swimmer of the Week. Kacper Stokowski earned his second SEC Freshman of the Week accolade on the season.
Freeman notched the fastest time in the NCAA for the last week with his personal-best swim of 8:59.42 in the 1,000 Free. His mark of 4:21.54 in the 500 Free was the third-best time in the NCAA and fastest in the SEC. Freeman swept the two distance events and provided valuable points to the team score.
Stokowski's time in the 100 Back of 46.40 was the second-best swim in the NCAA over the last week. His mark in the 100 Fly of 47.93 was the fastest time by a freshman in the SEC and the 11th fastest in the NCAA overall for the week.

His third-leg time of 43.90 in the 400 FR helped the relay team post the fourth-best swim in the NCAA; it was swam as an exhibition.
