IWU’s Tomazin, Rock Earn CCIW Swimmer of the Week Honors

NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Angela Tomazin and Ben Rock of Illinois Wesleyan earned College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) swimmer of the week recognition Wednesday after their performances during the previous week of competition.

Tomazin, a sophomore from Warrenville, Ill., took first place at the IWU Invitational in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:04.12 and second place in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:05.86. She achieved the fastest 50 fly split on the medley relay with a 28.28 and anchored the 200 freestyle relay that placed first with a time of 25.41. Tomazin has just been able to do whole practices the last two weeks due to a sprained ankle and a stress fracture in her other foot.

Rock, a junior from Dunlap, Ill., placed second in the 200 IM at the IWU Invitational with a time of 2:06.76, which is two seconds faster then his previous untapered best and six seconds faster than his time at this same meet last year. He finished second in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:03.63, which is three seconds faster than last year’s time at the IWU Invite.
