CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – The Coastal Collegiate Sports Association (CCSA) uncovered its weekly honors where a trio of Howard University Swimming & Diving members were recognized. The announcement came Wednesday afternoon.
On the men's side, senior Justice Brown-Duso (Cranston, R.I.) was selected CCSA Men's Diver of the Week while sophomore Kegan Ford (Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago) claimed CCSA Men's Swimmer of the Week. For the women, second-year diver Christian Nickolas (Brentwood, Calif.) won CCSA Women's Diver of the Week.
Ford began the dual meet season on a high note, facing a tough two days of competition. The Trinidad & Tobago native was perfect in individual events, placing first in the 50 Free and 100 Free Friday (Oct. 12) and Saturday (Oct. 13). His anchor leg in Friday's 200 Medley relay also gave the Bison an early advantage by out touching both American and Manhattan.
In his first ever competition on the board, Brown proved that he could compete on this level as he assisted the Bison in Friday and Saturday competitions. The Rhode Island product took part in the 1-meter dive on both days.
Nickolas contributions in the dive events lifted HU to a 3-1 mark over the weekend. In the 1-meter, the California native won both days while topping Virginia Military Institute (VMI) Saturday.
Senior KaSandra Kaplan (Detroit) received honorable mention after boasting three victories in the women's 200 Free, 200 Fly and 200 Free relay.
Campbell freshman Annie Sanchez earned CCSA Women's Swimmer of the Week.
