Navy athletes garnered each of the Patriot League's weekly men's and women's swimming and diving awards this week. Adam Meyer (So., Bethesda, Md.) and Thuy-Mi Dinh (So., Anaheim, Calif.) were tabbed as the league's swimmers of the week Tuesday, while Adam Niekras (Sr., Liverpool, N.Y.) and Katie Griffin (Sr., Ellicott City, Md.) were announced as the league's divers of the week.

Meyer placed first overall in a pair of events and second in one event during Navy's double dual meet victories over Cornell and Yale this past Saturday in Lejeune Hall. He posted times of 2:01.52 to win the 200 butterfly and 2:04.78 to win the 200 individual medley races, while his clocking of 55.99 in the 100 fly placed him second overall in the event. Additionally, he was a member of Navy's 200 medley relay team that placed third with a time of 1:43.67.

The results improved his records to a combined 15-1 in the butterfly events this year and kept him undefeated through six 200 IM races. His overall individual event record this season stands at 29-6.

Dinh recorded victories in each of her three individual events last Saturday against Cornell and Yale, winning the 100 backstroke (1:05.79), the 50 freestyle (26.05) and the 100 free (57.92). She also recorded the fastest anchor leg time (25.62) in helping Navy to a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay.

She has compiled a combined sprint freestyle event record of 15-4 this year and has posted an overall individual event record of 18-10.

Niekras tallied 282.05 points to place second on the one meter (by just six points) against the Big Red and the Bulldogs and accrued 321.55 points to place third on the three meter. He has totaled seven victories this season and has placed either first or second in a combined 17 events this season.

Griffin remained undefeated on the season on both boards (26-0) with a pair of victories against both Cornell and Yale. She posted a score of 241.95 points to win the one meter by 10 points and tallied 308.40 points to win the three meter by 53 points.

Both Navy programs are off from competition this week and will resume their respective seasons Jan. 26 when the teams play host to Penn in Lejeune Hall. The Navy men's team, which defeated both Cornell and Yale in the same meet for the first time in a decade, is 13-1 this season, while the women's program, which topped Cornell and lost to Yale, is 12-1 this year.
