AMHERST, Mass.- Junior Kate Allery (South Hadley, Mass.) earned Atlantic 10 Performer of the Week honors and freshman Dylan Smith (Timmonium, Md.) was named A-10 Rookie of the Week for their performances against Fordham University, Feb. 2, at Joseph R. Rogers pool.
Allery set a school record in the one-meter dive event with a first place score of 287.75, and also claimed the three-meter dive (286.05) as Massachusetts defeated Fordham (184-112) on Saturday. The one-meter mark eclipsed the old UMass record of 265.65 in the one-meter and earns Allery her second Performer of the Week citation this season.
Smith claimed the 200-yard butterfly on Saturday versus Fordham with a time of 1:53.88, the second-fastest mark in the Atlantic 10 this season, as Massachusetts defeated the Rams, 187-110. He also finished first in the 1,000-yard freestyle (9:53.44) to earn his second Rookie of the Week citation of the season.
UMass returns to action Feb. 21-23 as it participates in the A-10 Championships in Buffalo, N.Y. Last season, both the Minutemen and Minutewomen claimed A-10 titles.
