For the second time this season, Hugo Gonzalez was named the SEC Swimming and Diving Male Freshman of the Week, it was announced on Tuesday.
Gonzalez, from Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Spain, took home the honor after recording the fastest time in the 200 breaststroke and 200 IM, taking second in the 200 fly and swimming leadoff for the winning 400 medley relay team.
Gonzalez’ win in the 200 breast came in 1:58.72 in his first time competing in the event. That time, which is currently 11th-fastest in the nation, added to his collection of NCAA B cuts, giving him a team-best five after the first five weeks of competition.
