This week's GoBonnies.com Student-Athletes of the Week presented by CPL for the week ending Feb. 19 are men's swimming junior Maxwell Murray and women's track freshman Adria Magnusson.
 
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.
 
The Bonnies set five new school-best marks at the Cornell Invite this past Saturday, led by a pair of new program bests by the first-year runner. Magnusson posted new program records in both the 400 (1:01.92) and the 800 (2:26.47).
 
The Ridgway, Pa. native crushed the old Bona record in the 400, beating it by over three and a half seconds. In Saturday's race, she placed third out of 24 competitors.
 
In the 800, she broke her own record which stood for only two weeks. She just clipped her previous mark of 2:26.90 posted at Brockport and finished fifth in the race out of 17 runners.
 
The Bonnies will travel to Kingston, R.I. this weekend to compete in the A-10 Indoor Championships.
