Smit named Swimmer of the Week

Mount Sinai graduate and Olympic medalist Julia Smit was named the collegeswimming.com Collegiate Swimmer of the Week for NCAA Division I women based on her performances from Nov. 2-9.

A Stanford junior, Smit was honored for the fourth time in her career (twice as a freshman, once last year).

Smit dominated at the two-day Anteater Shootout hosted by UC Irvine. She won five individual events in the 100 free (twice), 200 back, 200 IM and 400 IM. She recorded NCAA 'A' standard times in the 200 IM (1:56.06) and the 400 IM (4:06.89). Her three other victories were 'B' times. Her time of :48.48 in the 100 free moved her into fifth place on Stanford's all-time top-10 list for the event.

Smit returns to the pool with Stanford Nov. 28-30 in Toronto, Canada for the Bell Invite.
