Senior Dustin Fairchild Named Athlete of the Week
Dustin Fairchild (Corry/Corry) has been named the ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR athlete of the week for the week of February 18, 2008.
This past weekend marked the second annual AMCC Swimming and Diving championships. The Behrend Lions were looking for their second consecutive title. Fairchild was able to propel the blue and white towards that goal with three individual wins, and contributed to two relay wins. Dustin placed first in the 200 and 500 freestyle as well as the 200 breast stroke. He also aided teammates to a first place finish in the 400 and 800 medley relays. Along with taking first in these events, Fairchild also qualified for the ECAC championships in the 200 free and 200 breaststroke. He will also be competing in the 200, 400, and 800 medley relay teams at the championships as well.
Fairchild will be one of 13 members of the men and women’s swimming team to compete at the ECAC Championships. The event will be held February 29 through March 1 at the University of Pittsburgh. NCAA Championships will follow for those athletes who qualify or become ECAC champions. The women’s championships will be held on March 13 through the 15, with the men’s competition beginning on March 20 and concluding on the 22. Both championships will be held at The College of Wooster Miami campus in Ohio.
