CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Davidson swimmer Drew Onken has claimed league honors once again, earning the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association's Male Swimmer of the Week accolade for the week of December 5.
Onken had a stellar performance at the Total Performance Swim Camps Invitational hosted by Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, coming away with a pair of wins in addition to a pair of runner-up finishes, three broken records and five relay swims.
The senior from Marietta, Ga., posted wins in the 400-yard individual medley and the 200-yard breaststroke. His time of 3:53.01 in the IM was good for a pool and meet record and also met the “B” standard for the NCAA championships. He swam the 200-yard breaststroke in a time of 2:01.48.
Onken was the runner up in the 100-yard breaststroke in a time of 56.18. His preliminary mark of 56.09 broke the Wildcats' program record in the event. He also took second place in the 200-yard individual medley, clocking in at 1:51.63.
In addition to his individual events, Onken was a member of five Wildcat relay teams. He swam a leg on the fourth-place 400-yard free relay team, as well as the Wildcats' “A” relay that swam to a fifth place finish. Onken also joined his teammates as part of the 200-yard medley relay, the 400-yard medley relay and 800-yard freestyle relay.
The week of Dec. 5 marks the fourth time Onken has earned the award and the seventh time a Davidson swimmer or diver has been honored. Onken previously earned the accolade on Oct. 11, Oct. 24 and Oct. 31. His teammates Kaliyah Burton-Akright (Oct. 31), Dylan Ludwick (Nov. 14) and Meredith Nakano (Nov. 14) have also been acknowledged by the CCSA this season.
The Wildcat men will be back in action on Jan. 26 when they travel to Boiling Springs, N.C., to face CCSA foe Gardner-Webb in a 1 p.m. meet.
