APPLETON, Wis. -- Rebecca Hamlyn and Peter Brengel have swept the Midwest Conference Swimmer of the Week honors.
Hamlyn, a sophomore from Cincinnati, Ohio, won two events to lead Lawrence to pair of dual meet victories this past Saturday at the Lawrence Triangular. A former standout at Walnut Hills High School, Hamlyn was first in the 200-yard individual medley in 2:21.16. She also won the 100 butterfly in 1:03.34.
