Trussov named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week

Iowa men’s swimmer Roman Trussov was recently named one of the Big Ten Swimmers of the Week.

Trussov shares the award with Minnesota’s Daryl Turner and Ohio State’s Christian Holstein.

Last week against Minnesota, Trussov placed first in the 100 breaststroke (54.27) and 200 breaststroke (1:59.19), winning both events.  He has also recorded two NCAA “B” cut times so far this season, in the 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke, respectively.

This is the first such honor for Trussov, who is the first Hawkeye to win it since Ryan Phelan in 2011.
