Freshman Skylar Rogan Named CCSA Swimmer of the Week
01.17.2017 | Women's Swimming & Diving
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – UNC Asheville freshman swimmer Skylar Rogan has been named the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association (CCSA) Swimmer of the Week, it was announced Tuesday afternoon. It is the first weekly award for a Bulldog swimmer in the short history of the program.
Rogan had another stellar performance last weekend in Asheville's final home meet of the season, posting a time of 10:35.54 to take top honors in 1000-Yard Freestyle. Her next closest competition was nearly seven seconds behind. She also took top honors in the 500 Free in a time of 5:14.20, nearly four seconds ahead of second-place.
Her first-place effort in the 1000 Free followed up a second-place effort in the same event against 34th-ranked Florida Gulf Coast prior to the winter break.
Despite being just a freshman, Rogan already holds the school overall and freshman records for the 500 Free with a time of 4:58.75. She set the record at the Wingate Frenzy in November. Rogan is also second all-time in program history in both the 1000 Free and the 1650 Free and she holds the sixth-best time in program history for the 200 Free.
Rogan is currently third in the CCSA top-24 for both the 1000 and 1650 free and is also fifth in the league in the 500 Free.
UP NEXT
UNC Asheville has just one more meet before competing in the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association (CCSA) Championships in Athens, Ga. Before the conference meet, the Bulldogs will travel to Wilmington, N.C., where they will compete against UNC Wilmington and Gardner-Webb on Saturday, Jan. 21. The tri-meet will begin at 11 a.m.
