Susanna Price and Ben Tate ODAC Swimmers of the Week

The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) announced their weekly swim awards on Monday afternoon. The Maroons would take, both, the men's and women's Swimmer of the Week awards.

Susanna Price was named ODAC Women's Swimmer of the Week after the Maroons took on Lees-McRae in a dual meet on Saturday afternoon. The freshman from New Mexico won a pair of individual events and was a member of a Roanoke runner-up relay team. In the 200 Freestyle, Price finished ahead of the field with a final time of 1:59.44 and came back later in the meet to earn another win, this time in the 200 Butterfly (2:13.90). Both times are the fastest in the conference at those distances this season. She was also a member of the 400 Freestyle Relay team that finished second.

On the men's side, Roanoke claimed their second consecutive ODAC SOW honor. Ben Tate helped the Maroons to a 111-77 win over the Bobcats while winning a pair of individual events as well as teaming up to win a relay race. In the 200 Freestyle, Tate posted a final time of 1:46.26 to capture the event. Later in the afternoon, the senior returned to the winners circle with a time of 1:58.00 in the 200 Butterfly. As a member of the 400 Medley Relay team, Tate helped post a time of 3:29.58, claiming his third set of first-place points during the meet. All the times were ODAC best marks to this point in the season.
