BOCA RATON, Fla. – Lynn University men's swimming senior Maxim Tsyfarov has been named the Sunshine State Conference (SSC) Men's Swimmer of the Week following a dominant performance in the Fighting Knights' 165-39 victory over Barry on Saturday, Oct. 10.
 
He becomes the second Lynn men's swimmer to earn the weekly honor this season, joining teammate Paolo Agogeri, who received the recognition following the Fighting Knights' season-opening meet against Nova Southeastern.
 
Tsyfarov collected three first-place finishes against the Buccaneers, including two individual victories, to help lead the Blue and White to a commanding conference win.
 
The senior opened his afternoon as a member of Lynn's winning 400-yard medley relay team alongside Xavier Washington, Mike Topchanalis and Brady Moore. The quartet touched the wall in 3:20.54 to secure first place.
 
Tsyfarov continued his impressive outing in the 200-yard individual medley, racing to a first-place finish in 1:54.28. His performance led a Fighting Knight sweep of the top two spots, with teammate Luke Labrose finishing second in 1:55.72.
 
The Yoqneam, Israel native capped off his afternoon with another victory in the 200-yard breaststroke, clocking in at 2:08.79 to finish nearly three seconds ahead of the runner-up.
 
Tsyfarov's three event victories helped Lynn remain in control throughout the meet as the Fighting Knights cruised past their SSC opponent.
