LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – UNLV swimming junior Erika Carlson has been named the Raising Cane’s Outstanding Rebel of the Week, the school announced Thursday.
The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition from Monday through Sunday as voted on by the UNLV Athletics Strategic Communications department.
Carlson, a native of Seattle, Washington, earned six individual wins and went undefeated in UNLV‘s dual meet split against Utah and BYU.
