ROSEMONT – Reigning NCAA champion Dylan Bosch won three events last weekend in Michigan’s dual-meet victory over Ohio State, continuing the junior’s journey to a 200 butterfly title defense at the NCAA championships in March. That helped Bosch earn the Big Ten Conference’s male swimmer of the week.

Teammate Clara Smiddy was also recognized, earning the conference’s female freshman swimmer of the week honor. Minnesota also received two honors, as Kierra Smith won female swimmer of the week and Yu Zhou received the female diver of the week award. Steele Johnson of Purdue was honored twice this week, as male diver and male freshman of the week.
