Mayrovich earns Big 12 Swimmer of the Week

Friday, January 30, 2009

Senior swimmer Maria Mayrovich was named Big 12 Swimmer of the Week on Wednesday. Mayrovich said the honor came as a surprise to her and she said that she was very pleased that she won.

“We’ve been swimming at a high level in general lately and it was nice to be awarded for it,” Mayrovich said.

At last week’s meet against South Dakota and Northern Iowa, Mayrovich’s 50.04 time in the 100-yard freestyle broke the pool record. Mayrovich dominates the short freestyle events and is also a member of the medley and freestyle relay teams.

Mayrovich said that her success and awards are the work of her coaches. Mayrovich said that she chose Kansas because of coach Clark Campbell’s rapport with his swimmers and the training that he provided.

“I really like Clark because he’s willing to work with you and push you,” Mayrovich said.

Mayrovich and the Kansas swimming and diving team will be back in action Feb. 6 and 7 at Robinson Natatorium against Iowa State.
