CLEVELAND, Ohio – The North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) selected Kenyon Lords senior swimmer Connor Rumpit as its Athlete of the Week on Monday. It was his first career honor.
Over the weekend, Rumpit helped the team to a second-place finish at the West Virginia Invitational with three victories. His first came in the 500-yard freestyle race as he clocked a 4:26.11. He followed that up with another long-distance win in the 1,650 free. Rumpit posted a time of 15:33.43 in that event.
In relay competition, the fourth-year swam a leg on the winning 800-yard free relay team with a mark of 6:38.19.
All of those times met NCAA ‘B’ cut standards and registered as the fastest among Division III competition this season.
Kenyon will return to the pool on December 4 when it takes part in Denison University’s Long Course Time Trials.
