For the second time in three weeks, Wayne State sophomore Guilherme Veiga (Vinton, Va./William Byrd) has been named GLIAC Men's Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Week.

Veiga took two first-place finishes in WSU's 129-106 dual meet victory at Indianapolis on Saturday. He edged out Indy's Yaman Oguz by .17 to win the 200 freestyle (1:45.01), and led the field by nearly seven seconds in the 500 freestyle with an NCAA "B" qualifying time of 4:41.25.

Wayne State has its first home meet of the season this Friday (Nov. 17) as the Warriors hosts the Findlay Oilers at 5:00 p.m. in the Matthaei Aquatic Center.
