 Freshman Tomer Frankel was named the IU Scholar-Athlete of the Month for February.
“Tomer is a true freshman who is originally from Israel. In addition to the unique circumstances surrounding his first term, Tomer also experienced challenges as he navigated his first semester of college having to rely on English, which is not his primary language,†said Allen Kohn, IU’s assistant director of academic services. “I was, and still am, inspired by the amount of effort and time that Tomer put into each of his courses.Â
“Throughout the semester he sought out assistance from professors, teammates and learning services to help him build confidence in his reading and writing skills.â€
On top of his successes in the classroom, Frankel has also won the 200 Freestyle in both meets to open his career. He also was a key member of the winning 400 Freestyle Relay squad against Michigan and Northwestern.
