NEW YORK - Xavier men's swimming senior Andrew Martin picked up the first BIG EAST Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Week honor for the 2022-23 season after setting league-best times in three individual events for the first month of the season.
In the season opener, Martin helped Xavier to a team win, collecting a pair of individual event wins, taking first in the 1000 free (9:35.77), and the 500 free (4:37.76). He also helped Xavier win the 400 free relay.
Against Louisville, Martin set a time of 1:41.13 in the 200 free to lead Xavier and also led the Musketeers in the 500 free with a BIG EAST-best time of 4:32.69, scoring in second place.
At the Akron Zips Classic, Martin collected three event wins, winning the 200 free with a time of 1:40.89, the current league best time in the event. He also took first in the 500 free with a time for 4:33.45, and also collected a first-place finish in the 1,650 free, setting a time of 15:52.54, the current top time in the BIG EAST. Martin also led Xavier in the 50 free, placing second with a time of 21.15.
Martin also helped the Musketeers to league-best times in the 400 free relay, 800 free relay and 400 medley relay, all at the Akron Zips Classic. Martin leads the BIG EAST in total point contributions (719.15), nearly 40 points ahead of the next closest competitor.
Women's swimming's Kali Fischer was also named a notable performer by the BIG EAST, after recording a BIG EAST season-best time in the 200 free (1:52.43), winning the event at the Akron Zips Classic. Backed by strong relay performances, Fisher leads BIG EAST women in total points (685.70).
