Mid-Major Swimmers Earn Major Honors

More than two dozen conference championship meets highlighted the second week of the championship season.  While most Division I conference championships will take place this week and next, two - the MAAC and America East - crowned champions.  That enabled a pair of Mid-Major programs to nab this week's CollegeSwimming Swimmers-of-the-Week.  

Rider's Zach Molloy and UMBC's Emily Escobedo earned the second national honors of their career.  Escobedo was named America East Most Outstanding Swimmer for the fourth-straight year.  The senior captured gold in six of her seven events.  Molloy was named the MAAC Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet for the second year in a row.  He shattered the conference record in the 100 free with a time of 43.47.

Queens (NC)'s Marius Kusch captured Division II honors for the second time in his four-meet college career.  Swept the butterfly events and IM at the Bluegrass Mountain Conference.  Drury's Bailee Nunn earned her fourth national honor after sweeping the 100 Fly, 100 Breast, 200 Breast and 200 IM at the GLVC Championships.

Division III honors went to Emory's Andrew Wilson and Williams' Emma Waddell.  Joel Ax (SCAD-Savannah) and Aerika Wieser (Urbana) were the NAIA selections.

Additionally, CollegeSwimming selected seventy-two Conference Swimmers-of-the-Week.  Highlighting the selections was Stanford's Katie Ledecky.  In a dual meet against California, Ledecky set three pool records. Selections are made from results submitted by Midnight EST each Monday.
