This marks the first MAC award for the Bears this season.
Moffatt won every race he participated in last Friday and Saturday, winning both the 500- and 1,000-yard freestyle in both meets. On Friday at Hammons Student Center Pool, Moffatt put together a winning time of 9:27.80 in the 1,000 free, a time only bested in the MAC by himself earlier in the season.
