COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou junior swimmer Sarah Thompson (Collierville, Tenn.) was named the Southeastern Conference Women's Swimmer of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.

She swam on the Tigers' winning 200 free, 400 free, 200 medley and 400 medley relays in the quad meet, including as the leadoff leg of Mizzou's 200 free relay that notched the fastest time in the nation with a 1:29.09. Individually, Thompson claimed first-place honors in the 50 free with for her team-leading fifth event win of the year with a 22.22, narrowly off her season-best time of 22.13 that ranks fourth nationally. She also swam a personal-best 1:54.57 in the 200 back, which ranks her fifth nationally and eighth all-time at Mizzou, as well as season-bests in the 100 back (53.57 as a leadoff split) and 100 fly (54.44). 

A two-time NCAA qualifier, Thompson owns five All-America honorable mentions as part of Mizzou relays at the NCAA Championships.
