CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Noah Nelson earned Iowa Conference Men's Swimming and Diving Performer of the Week honors for the period ending Sunday, Nov. 5, his second honor of the year, as announced by the league office.

The freshman phenom led the Storm with two wins and a runner-up performance in the team's 112-83 dual loss to Coe on Friday, Nov. 3. He set school records in the 200 and 500 freestyle to increase his season total to five in just two meets.
