Behrend Duo Earn AMCC Men's Swimmer and Diver of the Week Honors

Penn State Behrend's Anthony Spoto (Birmingham, MI/Birmingham-Seaholm) was named the AMCC Men's Swimmer of the Week, while teammate Steve Graves (McMurry/Peters Township) snagged AMCC Men's Diver of the Week honors for November 12. 

Spoto won 2 individual events and teamed with others to take two relay events in a win over St. Vincent College on November 10.  Spoto captured the 50 free in a time of 23.12 seconds and the 100 free in 51.22 seconds.  The senior was also a part of the winning relay teams in the 200 Medley and 200 free.

In the win over St. Vincent, Graves scored a 245.25 on the one meter event which placed him second on the Behrend top ten list.  This score barely missed the qualification standards for the ECAC Open Championships.  The sophomore came right back in the three meter event scoring a 247.70 to set a new school record at Penn State Behrend.

Swimming and diving will be back in the Junker Center pool Friday, November 16.  Behrend will take on the Gannon Golden Knights.  Events begin at 5:00 p.m.
