Men’s Swimmer of the Week: Cameron Craig, So., Arizona State (Monroe, Mich.)
Craig won three events last week to help No. 10 Arizona State upset the reigning national champions and No. 2 Texas, 162-138, on Jan. 26. The Monroe, Mich., native took first in the 100-yard freestyle (42.97) for the team’s fastest time of the season in the event and finished second in the 200 free (1:36.19). Craig currently holds the school record in each of the two individual events (100 – 41.95, 200 -1:31.71). Craig swam the anchor leg (19.56) of the Sun Devil men’s “A” team in the 200 medley relay that placed first at 1:27.61. The sophomore was also the leadoff leg (19.65) of their final win in the 200 free relay.
Diver of the Week: Nathan Makarewicz, Sr., Utah (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Makarewicz collects his first Pac-12 Diver of the Week honor after helping Utah defeat BYU for the fifth time in six years by a dominating 210-89 margin on Jan. 26.
