Thumbs Up: BW Star Naomi Ruele Won FIU Athletics Swimmer Of The Year Award


Naomi clinched the swimmer of the year award & she has been selected to swim in this year's NCAA Championships in Atlanta, Ga. (March 16-19) announced on Wednesday.

She qualified in the 50 Free, posting a school-record time of 22.23 during last weekend's Conference USA Championships. Her time of 22.23 was also a C-USA Championships record. Ruele was perfect during the C-USA Championships, winning gold in each of the seven events she swam in (three individual, four relays). Named the C-USA Swimmer of the Meet, she also set two other school records during the championships (100 Free and 200 Free Relay).  

On the year, Ruele has finished either first or second in the 50 Free 12 times. She has posted times under 23 seconds four times, including a 22.33 in the prelims of the C-USA Championships and her record-setting time of 22.23 in the finals.  

Her time in the 50 Free is tied for the 27th-fastest in the nation.


Congrats Naomi....
