McCrory wins Midwest Conference swimming honor

APPLETON, Wis. -- Lawrence University's Patrick McCrory has been named the Midwest Conference Swimmer of the Week.

McCrory, a freshman from Racine, picked up the honor after his performance at the Carthage College Triple Dual this past Saturday. The former star at Park High School won the 50-yard freestyle in 22.37 seconds and took third in the 100 freestyle in 50.77.


McCrory, who has been named Swimmer of the Week twice this season, has the second-fastest time in the conference in both of those events.

The Vikings return to action Friday and Saturday at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Invitational.
