The Atlantic Coast Conference named Virginia swimmers Luke Anderson and Katy Bland as the ACC Swimming and Diving Performers of the Week yesterday.
Anderson, a senior who won five races in Virginia's meet last week, helped lead the No. 12 Cavalier men to victories against Clemson and Penn State. The All-American won both the 100- and 200-yard individual freestyle events, and also swam legs of Virginia's victorious 400 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams. Anderson's 44.78 second time in the 100 meter freestyle qualified him to swim at the NCAA B tournament.
Bland, a sophomore, won all six races in which she swam last weekend, leading the women to dual victories as well. She posted two NCAA B qualifying times in the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle against Penn State, and won the 50 freestyle against Clemson.
The Cavalier men's and women's swimming teams will travel to Purdue's Boilermaker Challenge Friday and Saturday.
