After taking part in four first-place races at the double dual meet with Florida State and Penn State during the weekend, including an Aquatic & Fitness Center record time in the 200 back, junior Mei Christensen was awarded the Counsilman Hunsaker National Collegiate Swimmer-of-the-Week honors by CollegeSwimming.com.
Christensen’s time of 1:56.42 beat the old time of 1:57.13, set in 2002 by Class of 2006 graduate Brielle White, a seven-time All-American backstroker and two-time ACC Swimmer of the Year in her career at Virginia.
In addition to her record first-place time in the 200 back, Christensen also won the 100 back (54.59) and swam a leg of the first-place finishing 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay teams as the women’s team claimed two convincing victories, 216-129 against Florida State and 201-148 against Penn State.
