MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference named Saint Leo men's swimmer Carlos Nava as the SSC Men's Swimmer of the Week for his performance at the tri-meet hosted by Florida Tech which took place this past Friday in Melbourne, Fla. Nava led the Lions as they competed against both the nationally-ranked Panthers of Florida Tech and the Lynn Fighting Knights.
 
The sophomore produced the Lions' first NCAA "B" qualifying standard of the season as he won the 100 breaststroke in 55.40, swimming under the standard time of 55.56. Nava also earned a win in the 200 breaststroke as he topped the field in 2:04.46. The Miami, Fla. native was also part of the winning 400 freestyle relay and the second place 200 medley relay.
 
The weekly award is the first of Nava's young career and is the first for the Lions this season. The most recent Swimmer of the Week for Saint Leo was Hampus Lovinge who took home the award Jan. 27, 2020.
 
Nava and the rest of the Lions will be back in action this Saturday, Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. as they travel to Winter Park, Fla. to take on the Rollins Tars.
