The Northwest Conference is proud to announce its Student-Athletes of the Week in Swimming for the week of November 11th through November 17th.
Women’s Swimming - Student-Athlete of the Week
Gabbie Patti I George Fox | FR | Bremerton, Wash. | Bremerton
Just three weeks into her collegiate career, Patti continues to make strides, winning every individual event she competed in against Whitworth and Whitman. The freshman won the 200-yard freestyle (1:57.87) by more than three seconds versus the Pirates, winning the100-yard backstroke (1:00.20) as well. Patti also claimed two events against Whitman in the 200 back (2:14.30) and the 200 individual medley (2:13.00), both the top times in the conference. The freshman's performance helped the Bruin women win their first dual meet over the Blues in program history. For the weekend, all but one of Patti's times were top in the NWC — with her 1:00.20 backstroke mark only beaten by Patti's own 57.77 two weeks earlier.
Men’s Swimming - Student-Athlete of the Week
Sam Lyon I Puget Sound | SO | Los Altos, Calif. | Los Altos
Lyon had a great weekend in the pool, winning 4 individual events against Linfield and Willamette. His 16:24.20 in the 1650 Freestyle outpaced the next closest opponent by nearly 40 seconds, posting a time that currently ranks 10th in all of Division III. To go along with that, he also posted a 1:57.64 in the 200 Butterfly, and 9:51.45 in the 1000 free, which are both conference-leading times.
