NEW YORK, N.Y. – On Monday the Skyline Conference announced its weekly award winners for the first week of the swimming season with Maritime junior
Katia Aaron (Clarence, N.Y./Clarence) being recognized as a part of the league's honor roll.
This is the first selection in Aaron's career to the weekly honor roll, to go along with her Rookie of the Week selection back on November 30 of the 2015-16 season.
In last Wednesday's season-opening win, Aaron led the Privateers to its first win of the season by a 109-84 score over the Kean Cougars. At the meet, Aaron had a pair of individual wins to go along with a team win in the 200 medley relay to open the evening.
Individually she had a win of over two minutes, scoring a 12:25.99 in the 1,000 freestyle, then later followed it up with a 50 second victory in the 500 freestyle at 6:07.65. In the relay she swam fourth and clocked in with a 29.96 in the freestyle portion of the relay to help the quartet to a 2:12.47 and a first place finish.
Maritime (1-0) will return to action on Tuesday evening, when the men's and women's swimming and diving team hosts the William Paterson Pioneers for a 6 p.m. start from the Riesenberg Aquatic Center.
