Following an impressive debut season, Saint Leo swimmer Annie Lindstrom has been named the Sunshine State Conference (SSC) Freshman of the Year.
The Kristianstad, Sweden native became the second Saint Leo women’s swimmer to earn Freshman of the Year honors. (Nicole Weber was named Freshman of the Year in 2014.)
Individually, Lindstrom qualified for the NCAA Division II championships in the 50 Free, 100 Fly and 100 Free during the 2016-17 season after finishing in the top four in all three events at the SSC Championship. At nationals, she finished 16th in the 50 Free, 23rd in the 100 Free, and 27th in the 100 Fly. In relays, Lindstrom was a part of four Saint Leo school records, including the Lions’ 200 Medley Relay that finished Top-8 at the national championship meet.
