Connors Opens Year with NCAC Athlete of the Week Honors Again

Emma Connors, Wooster swimming The College of Wooster's Emma Connors earned North Coast Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week honors following the Fighting Scots' swimming and diving team's season lid-lifter for the second straight year.

Connors was the distance ace in Saturday's 181-161 win over the University of Mount Union. The junior's meet started with the winning time of 11:19.97 in the 1,000 freestyle. She later returned to go 2:05.77 in the 200 freestyle, and capped the day with the winning time of 5:36.36 in the 500 freestyle.

Connors' first NCAC Athlete of the Week honor came during her sophomore year. She anchored Wooster's winning 500 freestyle relay (4:52.44), led off the winning 3x500 freestyle relay (16:30.61), and was part of the first-place 200 freestyle relay (1:41.51) when the Scots knocked off Div. I Cleveland State University at last year's season-opening Viking Relay Challenge.

Next, Wooster is at Malone College for a 1 p.m. dual meet on Saturday, October 29.
