Hamilton Honored as Female Swimmer of the Week

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Kelly Hamilton of the Army West Point women's swimming and diving team was honored by CollegeSwimming.com as the Patriot League Women's Swimmer of the Week for the period of Jan. 22. The announcement was made on Wednesday afternoon.

The honor is awarded based on the number of individual and relay event wins in a given weekend, the strength of each swim (using CollegeSwimming.com's point values), and the team outcome.

Hamilton had another strong weekend, as she was responsible for three total first-place finishes, and one second-place finish in a quad-meet against American University, Boston University and George Mason University.

The senior touched the wall first in the 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard freestyle with respective times of 56.05 seconds and 52.00 seconds. Additionally, Hamilton was a part of the 400-yard freestyle relay team that took first with a mark of 3:29.49.

Hamilton was also on the 200-yard medley relay team that finished in second place with a time of 1:45.85, just .02 seconds behind the top spot.

The Black Knights defeated American (187-106) and George Mason (241-55), and fell to Boston (159-140). Army will be back in action during the Bucknell Invite this Saturday in Lewisburg, Pa.
