Handley took home three individual first-place finishes in the 100, 200 and 500-yard freestyle events. She also had the fastest 100-yard split in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
This is Handley’s seventh swimmer of the week honor and third this season.
The seven honors are tied for the most by any Saluki swimmer since 2010.
Earlier this season, she was part of a 400-yard medley relay team that broke a 30-year school record.
