Joao Santos of Emmanuel Named Conference Carolinas Men’s Swimmer of the Week
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Joao Santos of Emmanuel has been named the Conference Carolinas Men’s Swimmer of the Week.
The league office made the official announcement on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2019.
A junior from Maringa, Parana, Brazil, Santos was one of just over 1,300 swimmers from around the world this past week at the US OPEN National Championship, which is organized by USA Swimming. Emmanuel and Queens were the only NCAA Division II competitors. The races were contested in a 50 long course meter pool, so the times were different than normal events done in yards.
In the 100 breaststroke, Santos posted a time of 1:03. He recorded a time of 23.64 in the 50 freestyle and a time of 51.45 in the 100 freestyle. All three times placed him among the top 80 and his 100 breaststroke time was good for an impressive 34th-place finish.
