Wright Named Men's Swimming Athlete of the Week

Bradford, Pa. -- Freshman Aiden Wright of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford men's swimming was named AMCC Men's Swimmer of the Week on Monday, becoming the first Panther to win the award since Chris Troll won the award in January of 2019.

Wright picked up four wins for the Panthers in a tri-match with Wells and Suny Delhi. He started the day by leading off the 200-yard medley relay, which the Panthers won with a time of 2:05.22. He followed this up with an easy victory in the 100-yard backstroke that saw him outswim the competition by 27 seconds. Wright also won the 500-yard freestyle in 6:00.79 and finished the day with a 26.40 split for the winning 200-yard freestyle relay team.

The Panthers will host Jamestown Community College in an exhibition meet on Saturday, December 11th to wrap up the Fall portion of their season. They will return to the pool after the holiday break, heading to Buffalo on January 8th to face Buffalo State and Wells in a tri-meet.
