College Swimming & Diving
LAWRENCEVILLE—Members of the Rider University swimming & diving teams won all four of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference weekly awards this week after defeating MAAC-rival Marist. \”It is good to see them be recognized by the conference for their performance,\” said Rider head coach Steve Fletcher.
Junior Josh Rosenbluth was named the men’s Swimmer of the Week for the second consecutive week, junior Priscilla Modrov was named the women’s Swimmer of the Week for the second time this year, junior Amanda Burke was named the women’s Diver of the Week for the second time this year, and senior Dylan Korn was named the men’s Diver of the Week.
Against Marist Modrov (Smithtown, N.Y./Hauppauge) won the 200 butterfly (2:05.82), 200 breaststroke (2:28.68) and set a Rider pool record in winning the 200 IM (2:08.20), and swam on the winning 200 medley relay (1:49.41). It was the third Coppola Pool record she has broken this season in just two home meets. \”Priscilla has come back to the college season fit and ready to go, and it has shown in her record-setting early season performances,\” said Fletcher. \”She has more of a relaxed confidence in training this year that should push her to new levels of performance.\”
