Morgan Whyte and Drexel junior
Rachel Bernhardt shared CAA Women's Swimmers of the Week honors on Wednesday, while fellow Blue Hen senior
Kristina Congdon was tabbed Women's Diver of the Week.
Whyte, the defending CAA champion in both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events, shined over the weekend as UD beat former league foe George Mason (186-109) while moving to 3-0 this season. The senior cruised in the 50-free (23.71) and equally impressed in the 100-free (51.96). Both of those times currently rank second this season in the CAA behind William & Mary's Jaimie Miller.
Last Friday, Bernhardt helped the Dragons defeat La Salle, 198-101, by capturing gold in three individual events - the 100-yard breast (1:04.70), 200-yard breast (2:24.26) and 50-yard free (23.78). The New Jersey native also swam a leg on DU's winning 200 medley relay team that touched the wall in 1:46.42. Her time in the 50-free set a new personal best as well as a new Drexel Pool record.
Congdon won both the 1 and 3-meter diving events. She registered a score of 270.82 on the 1-meter and 295.65 on the 3-meter.
