ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Saluki swimmer Nora Bunford was named Missouri Valley Conference Swimmer of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
Bunford, a sophomore from Budapest, Hungary, competed in three events in a dual meet against Nebraska last weekend and finished in the top three in all events.
Her mark of 2:20.22 in the 200-yard breaststroke, in which she captured first place, is currently number one on the Valley best list for that event.
Bunford swam the second leg of the 400-yard medley relay that finished second in a time of 3:56.74.
Bunford also swam in the 400-yard individual medley, clocking in at 4:33.95 for a third-place finish. That time was a career-best for Bunford.
This is the second time in Bunford's career at SIU she has received the conference award.
