Khallouqi Named SSC Women's Swimmer of the Week

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference has announced the Women's Swimmer of the Week as Florida Southern College's Rania Khallouqi, the first conference accolade of her career.
 
Khallouqi made a big impact for No. 15 Florida Southern in a Friday dual meet win over Indian River State, the 47-time NJCAA champion. The freshman from Worthing, England, opened the meet with a runner-up finish in the 200 freestyle (1:56.42) before claiming an individual victory in the 100 free (53.65). Khallouqi capped her performance by leading off the 200 free relay in 24.95.
 
Overall for the season, Khallouqi has secured a B cut time in the 200 free, set at last month's Gamecock Invitational. Her fastest times in the free include a 24.14 in the 50 free, 52.01 in the 100 free, and 1:52.64 in the 200 free. As a team, the Mocs ranked No. 15 in the latest CSCAA poll, securing dual meet wins over Florida Tech and IRSC.
 
Up next, the Mocs will participate in the Shark Invitational, hosted by Nova Southeastern on Thursday, Dec. 18, at the NSU Aquatic Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
