Polowy earns PrestoSports/SUNYAC Swimmer award
The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) has selected Fredonia's McKayla Polowy and Cortland's Ashley Zachgo as its PrestoSports Women's Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively.
In Fredonia's final home meet, Polowy finished first in the 1,000 free, (11:18.59), the 200 free (2:04.85), and the 500 free (5:31.88), winning all of her individual events vs. Brockport.
Zachgo won both sections of the 1-meter diving event during Cortland's 166-129 dual-meet win at Oneonta Saturday. With no 3-meter diving event at the meet, the divers competed in 11 dives on the 1-meter board and the scores were split into two scoring events. Zachgo won both sections with scores of 269.17 and 186.38 points for a combined 11-dive total of 455.55 points. That mark meets NCAA regional qualifying standards, giving Zachgo the first of the two qualifying marks needed to make regionals.
