BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – In recognition of two sensational meets to open the 2025-26 season, freshman Christian Toussi of the University of Bridgeport's men's swimming and diving team has been named the Northeast-10 Conference's Rookie of the Week.

The Norwegian has racked up four individual wins so far while also helping Bridgeport to a pair of relay victories. He opened things up with triumphant swims in the 100-back (55.96) and the 100-fly (57.15) at the Fairfield Invite (SCSU, FU, Manhattan) before touching first in the 100-back (56.40) and the 100-free (52.06) against Adelphi.
Toussi also assisted the Purple Knights to a pair of relay wins against the Panthers in the 200-medley relay (1:43.71) and the 200-free relay (1:35.79).
