SWIMMER OF THE WEEK
BRIDGET ZAGROBELNY • University of Mary Washington
Junior • East Aurora, NY/East Aurora
Zagrobelny becomes the first swimmer in Mary Washington history to earn NJAC Swimmer of the Week honors, as the Eagles joined the conference as an affiliate member this season. She turned in the conference's fastest times so far in each of the four events she competed in over the weekend at UMW's season-opener at Washington & Lee. She won the 100 breaststroke (1:07.72), the 200 breast (2:27.33), and the 200 IM (2:15.35), and swam a leg of UMW's winning 200 medley relay (1:49.55).
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
MARINA KLEIN • University of Mary Washington
Freshman • Shreveport, LA/C.E. Byrd
Klein is the first-ever Mary Washington swimmer to earn NJAC Rookie of the Week after UMW joined as an affiliate member prior to this season.
