Swimmer

Guillaume Guth, Colorado Mesa (Junior, Toulouse, France)
Guth continued his stellar swimming last week and earned his fourth consecutive weekly award after securing a win and two seconds in individual competition against BYU and Air Force. He won the 100 freestyle event with a 43.43-second mark that set BYU’s pool record. Guth added individual second-place finishes in the 50 freestyle (20.02 seconds) and the 200 freestyle (1:36.35). He was also on the Mavericks’ 200 freestyle and 400 medley relay teams that finished second in those events.

Also Nominated:  Owen Nicholson, Simon Fraser.

Diver

Ryan Campbell, Colorado Mesa (Senior, Delmar, New York)
Campbell led the Colorado Mesa diving crew in both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events in the double dual against BYU and Air Force in Provo, Utah, last week.  He scored 311.00 in the 1-meter competition to finish second overall out of 14 divers, then posted a 311.25 mark in the 3-meter competition, which was good for a fourth-place finish out of 14 divers. Both marks were good enough to beat the NCAA qualifying standard.
