Swimmer of the Week
Peter Vanderkaay, Michigan
JR, Rochester, Minn./Adams
Vanderkaay won every event he competed in and posted six NCAA consideration times as he helped the Wolverines stay unbeaten against Conference opponents with dual meet victories over Northwestern and Indiana last weekend. Against the Wildcats, the junior won the 100- and 200-yard freestyle events in 44.41 and 1:36.42, respectively, and swam on the winning 400-yard freestyle relay (3:02.15). The Rochester, Minn., native claimed four first place finishes to pace the Wolverines to a 158.5-141.5 win against Indiana. Vanderkaay recorded wins in the 100-, 200- and 500-yard freestyle events and helped Michigan post its fastest time of the season in the 200-yard medley relay (1:28.77).
This is Vanderkaay's second weekly accolade of the season.
