Maria Basto was named the female athlete of the week after going a perfect 4-4 on the week achieving three NAIA standards.  The sophomore opened the meet leading off UC's 200 medley relay that notched a winning time of 1:49.89.  She followed that up with a trio of individual wins, starting with the 50 back, where she clocked a 27.87 to beat out ten competitors for the top spot.  The Bogota, Colombia native touched the wall in 58.26 to win the 100 back, before going 2:13.67 in the 200 IM to win both events.  She also achieved NAIA provisional cuts in both of those events.  Basto's 50 back time was the third fastest in the country this season.
