twitterTwo Rebels in Olympics
Friday, June 23, 2000 | 10:40 a.m.
UNLV sophomore swimmers Lorena Diaconescu and Jacint Simon will be participating in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
Diaconescu will represent her native country of Romania in the 400- and 800-freestyle relay squads and in the 100 freestyle. Simon will swim for the Hungarian team on the 800-freestyle relay team and possibly the 200 freestyle.
Simon is the top freestyle swimmer for the Rebels and helped lead UNLV to a second-place finish in the Mountain West championships and to an all-time high ranking of 25th in the NCAA Championships.
