BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Army Swimming & Diving saw three of their ranks earn recognition from the Patriot League on Tuesday after their performances in the squad's dual meet at Minnesota last Friday. Johnny Crush and Catriona Gilmore claimed their respective Patriot League Swimmer of the Week titles while David Manelis earned the Patriot League Men's Diver of the Week award.
Crush continued to impress for the Black Knights in last week's dual meet as he claimed first place in the men's 100 back with a time of 46.98, first place in the men's 100 free with a time of 44.02, helped the squad claim first in the men's 400 free relay with a time of 2:55.77, and helped the squad claim second place in the men's 200 medley relay with a time of 1:25.98. Crush's 100 back time set a new program record, breaking the previous program high that Crush set in his collegiate debut, while his 100 free time clocks in as the eighth fastest time in program history.
Gilmore, a junior from Allen, Texas, posted a slate of big performances for the Black Knights in their dual meet at Minnesota. The Gophers may have claimed the win, but Gilmore shone for Army with a first place finish in the women's 100 breast at 1:02.04, a second place finish in the women's 200 breast at 2:15.00, a fourth place finish in the women's 200 IM on a 2:03.42, and helping the squad to a third place finish in the women's 200 medley relay with a time of 1:41.58.
