Bradford, Pa. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford swimming program had two of its freshmen recognized by the AMCC this week as Isabella Cercone and Conan Young were named Swimmers of the Week by the conference.
Isabella Cercone picked up 27 individual points as the Panthers fell to Roberts Wesleyan on Saturday, as she recorded wins in three individual races, while also contributing to a second-place relay finish. Cercone easily won both breaststroke events, taking the 100 with a time of 1:15.13, and the 200 in 2:44.55. She also won a tight 100-yard freestyle, winning in 27.56 by .14 seconds. Cercone also swam the anchor leg in the Panthers 200-yard freestyle relay, posting a split of 27 seconds flat.
Conan Young picked up three individual victories and had the top split for the winning 200 freestyle relay on Saturday as the Panthers were edged by Roberts Wesleyan in a Dual meet. Young began his day by dominating the 200-free, finishing in 1:51.44, nearly 13 seconds ahead of the next competitor. He followed that up with a win in the 200-yard butterfly and closed individual competition by winning the 500 in 5:02.41. He also posted a 24.33-second split in the 200 freestyle relay that win by 12 seconds.
Both Swimmers have already been named Swimmer of the Week once this season. Young won the award at the end of October, while Cercone followed suit the following week.
