This week’s GoBonnies.com Male Athlete of the Week presented by CPL for the week ending Feb. 19 is men’s swimming junior Maxwell Murray.
Murray notched two medals and set two program records at A-10 Championships last week.
The Penfield, N.Y. native earned a silver medal on the second night of championships with a time of 4:22.92 in the 500-freestyle. This time was good for a new program record, surpassing the time set by Vatslav Lets (4:23.90) in 2013.
On the final night of championships, the third-year swimmer registered a bronze medal and delivered a new program record in the mile, touching the wall in a time of 15:27.81. With his effort, he broke a school record which had stood for over 25 years as he overtook George Eversmann's 1997 mile time of 15:35.19.
Murray is now atop the record book in the 500-freestyle, 1000-freestyle, and 1650-freestyle.
