CENTERVILLE, MA -- University of Delaware senior Andrew Zinn earned his third honor this week as the Eastern College Athletic Conference named him the Swimmer of the Week after he led the Blue Hens to a 186-101 victory over Towson at the Rawstrom Natatorium last Saturday.

Earlier this week, Zinn was also selected as the CAA Swimmer of the Week while he received the Wilmington Trust Best of the Blue Hens honor as well.

Against Towson, Zinn (Wilmington, DE / McKean) won three events, highlighted by his record-setting victory in the 50-yard freestyle. During the event, he finished in 20.44, which broke the school and pool record.

It was the second time this year that he broke his own school record in the 50 free after also doing it during the first meet of the season against George Mason. He now holds the program’s top-four times in the event.

His time also set a new pool record breaking the mark of 20.70 set by Matt Carrico of Northeastern during the 1992-93 season. He is now the only Blue Hen swimmer, past or present, to hold a pool record at the Rawstrom Natatorium.

Against Towson, Zinn also won the 100-yard freestyle in 46.62. Then, he swam the anchor leg on the 200-yard medley relay team that won its event in 1:35.64. Both of those times were also season bests.

On the year, he has now won 18 events, including 11 individual competitions.

Along with Zinn, the ECAC honored Lucas Sanders from Harvard as the Diver of the Week. Hamilton's Steve Chaponis was also selected as the Division III Swimmer of the Week.

The ECAC, which is the largest conference in the United States, has 312 member schools from Maine to North Carolina.

The Delaware men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams return to the pool for a tri-meet in Harrisonburg with the Virginia Military Institute and James Madison this Saturday beginning at 1 p.m.
