Morales Named SAC Swimmer of the Week
Eagles swimmer Gabriel Morales earns SAC Swimmer of the Week honors after a dominant performance this past weekend at Wingate
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Carson-Newman men's swimmer Gabriel Morales was named the South Atlantic Conference Swimmer of the Week following his exceptional performance on the road at No. 5 Wingate last Friday and Saturday.
"It's good to see it and definitely well deserved," said head coach Ben Young. "Gabo puts in the work day in and day out."
Morales posted standout performances for the Eagles across both days of competition at Wingate. He set pool records in the 100 backstroke (47.74) and the 100 butterfly (48.46).
"Gabriel had a rough start to the meet and made several adjustments from day one to day two, which was something we talked a lot about over the first semester—being able to adapt to the environment," Young said. "The way he swam on day two is definitely proof of that adaptation and having a solid meet."
Morales becomes the first Eagle to earn SAC Swimmer of the Week honors this season.
