Hotchko Picked as CAC Female Swimmer-of-the-Week
York, Pa. - St. Mary's College of Maryland's Rachel Hotchko (Yakima, Wash./A.C. Davis) became the second Seahawk swimmer to earn Capital Athletic Conference Female Swimmer-of-the-Week honors this season as announced by conference commissioner, Tom Byrnes, on Tuesday.
The junior butterfly/freestyle specialist helped the Seahawks post a fourth-place finish at the annual Franklin & Marshall College Invitational this past weekend as Hotchko captured two events and registered an NCAA ‘B' cut.
Hotchko captured the 100 fly with her winning time of 58.00, just .04 seconds off the school record set by Beth Dobson in 2006 (57.96), and her time was also an NCAA provisional cut. She also won the 200 fly in 2:12.61.
Hotchko tied her teammate, Eleanor Koerner, for fourth place in the 50 free as both swam a 25.26.
She was also part of the winning 200 free relay (1:40.02), while helping St. Mary's second-place finishes in the 400 medley relay (4:03.12), 200 medley relay (1:50.83), and the 400 free relay (3:40.43).
