The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition, as voted on by the UNLV communications department.
Troup won the Mountain West Title in the 100 Free at the conference championships last weekend, becoming the first Rebel to win that event since 2004, in a school record time of 49.12. She's the first Rebel to win a conference individual title since 2014.
