Providence won both men’s and women’s Athlete of the Week in the Big East this week on the heels of a tough loss to Boston College that produced 6 new Providence school records.
Providence, which swims its home meets in a short-course meters pool, broke school records in the men’s 100m back, 400m IM, 200m medley relay, and 1500m free, along with the women’s 100m breast and 200m medley relay.
John Fatigati was named men’s Athlete of the Week after breaking three records and had three wins versus BC. Fatigati went 59.37 for a new 100 back record, 4:38.31 to shatter the 400 IM record, and also led off the record-setting 200 medley relay that took second. The junior also won the 200 back for the Friars.
Senior Jill Mullany was named women’s Athlete of the Week after winning two individual races and anchoring the school record-setting 200 medley relay. Mullany won the 200 free in 2:09.23 and the 100 free in 58.56, then swam on the medley relay team that went 2:03.17 to smash the 17-year-old school record of 2:04.22.
