GREENSBORO, N.C. – University of Virginia swimmers Luke Anderson (Charlottesville, Va./Bolles School) and Mirjana Bosevska (Skopje, Macedonia/Trinity Prep) have been selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s and Women’s Swimmers of the Week, respectively. Bosevska earns the award for the second time this season, while Anderson garners the honor for the first time this season and third time in two years. Anderson and Bosevska led the UVa swimming and diving teams to the titles of the Cavalier Invitational, which was held November 29 through December 1 at the UVa Aquatic and Fitness Center.

He was a member of two meet record setting relay teams and also set a meet record in the 50 free. Anderson swam the leadoff leg on UVa’s winning 200 free relay team that posted a meet record time of 1:21.89 and he also set the Cavalier Invitational record for the 50 free with his split of 20.26 seconds in the 200 free relay. The third meet record came in the 400 free relay as the Cavaliers posted a time of 3:01.23. Anderson also swam on the winning 400 medley relay (3:21.65) and 800 free relay (6:41.08) teams.
