About the Wildcats
The Wildcat women are a perfect 7-0 in CCSA competition this season, picking up wins over Campbell (222-66), Georgia Southern (173-127), Howard (245-42), Liberty (230-55), N.C. A&T ( 248-26) and Radford (229-70) in last weekend's CCSA Duals to go along with a win over College of Charleston (213-84) on October 30. Reigning CCSA Women's Swimmer of the Week Lindsey Martin —the league's top performer in the 50 free, 100 free and 200 free, earned the weekly honor for a fifth time this season, after winning a pair of individual titles and anchoring the Wildcats' winning 200 medley relay as Davidson swept the six-team field. Classmate Emily Castle has the conference's best time in the 100 fly, while senior Anna Stringfield ranks second in both the 200 backstroke and 400 IM.
The Davidson men are also perfect against conference competition this season, with wins over both Charleston (180-111) and Howard (185-66). Junior Geoffrey Peitz, league top performer in the 100 fly and 100 back, was named CCSA Men's Swimmer of the Week after earning the honor for a third time with three individual titles and a relay win against the Bison Saturday. Sophomore Drew Onken, league top performer in the 200 breast, 200 back, 200 IM and 400 IM and runner-up in four additional events, has earned the honor three times this season, while senior Bryan Droll (50 free) and sophomore Wills Cooper (100 free) also have league top times.
Freshmen Brian McRae and Kaliya Burton-Akright earned CCSA Men's and Women's Diver of the Week honors, respectively, as Davidson swept the weekly league honors after sweeping Saturday's dual competition. Each earned their third honor of the season.
