Algee Earns ACC Swimmer of the Week Honors

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Miami Hurricanes junior swimmer Angela Algee was recognized with ACC Female Swimmer of the Week honors, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Algee made an impressive season debut at the Pinch A Penny All-Florida Invitational, serving as Miami’s top point-getter across a number of impressive performances.

The weekly award was a career-first for Algee, who qualified for the U.S. Olympic trials after an impressive long course season.

Algee contributed a whopping 110 points to Miami’s 509-point total over the weekend.

The Orlando native posted three top-five finishes, placing second in the 100 fly with a time of 55.00, third in the 200 fly with a time of 2:03.22 before finishing fourth in the 50 free at 23.63.

“The 100 fly was one of the high points of the meet for us,” head coach Andy Kershaw said over the weekend. “Angela getting second was tremendous…she performed our plan and really came through on it.”

Algee, who Kershaw said is “poised to take the next step forward” in 2015-16, also swam in four relays, posting splits that ranked second-fastest in the field in all four races. Her splits of 50.15 seconds in the 400 free relay, 23.09 in the 200 free relay, 55.30 in the 400 medley relay and 24.64 in the 200 medley relay were the fastest relay splits among all swimmers from ACC schools posted at All Florida. Algee swam the the fly in both of the medley relays.
