Junior Casey Mangano (Cincinnati, OH/St. Ursula) was named Mid-American Conference Swimmer of the Week after she scored 18 points for the RedHawks as they defeated Ohio State on Saturday.
Mangano won two events, en route to a 172.5-127.5 dual-meet victory over Ohio State. In the opening event, Mangano helped win the 400-yard medley relay, with a time of 3:55.93. Four events later Mangano garnered her first of two top finishes in the 100-yard breaststroke with a 1:06.94 clocking for the defending MAC Champions. Mangano completed her double-win meet with a first-place finish in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:25.50).
Mangano is the first swimmer to earn the swimmer of the year award for Miami during the 2002-03 season. This is the first time that Mangano has earned the weekly honor.
Mangano's next meet will be in Minnesota at the Gopher Invitational from Nov. 21-23.
