Barbora Mileisyte snags Pac-12 Swimmer of the Week honors

Barbora Mileisyte, a senior on the Washington State women's swim team, just picked up Pac-12 Swimmer of the Week honors. That is a big deal for a program that has been grinding through a tough fall. Mileisyte earned the nod after a weekend that included a win in the 200-yard backstroke and a second-place finish in the 200-yard individual medley. She also anchored a relay. The conference recognized her for that kind of workload, which is exactly the kind of recognition you want to see for a Coug putting in the yards. It has not been an easy season for WSU women's sports. The football team has taken its lumps, and the women's basketball squad opened cold in Berkeley with an 80-58 loss to Cal, as we covered in "Cougs open season cold in Berkeley." That one stung. So when a swimmer grabs a weekly conference award, it is a reminder that good things are still happening in the water. Mileisyte is not just showing up. She is winning. That is worth a text to a friend. Go Cougs.
