WESTON, Mass. – After posting a personal best time in the 100 freestyle at the Roger Williams Invitational last Saturday, junior Noah Toumayan-Miller (Natick, Mass.) has been named the New England Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Association (NEISDA) Male Swimmer of the Week, announced Thursday morning by the coaches' organization.
The highlight of Toumayan-Miller's day was an 18th-place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 59.26 seconds, the first time in his collegiate career that he completed the event in less than one minute.
