Quinn MacMillan of New Britain Named CAA Swimmer of the Week

2016 Oct 28

Junior Quinn MacMillan of New Britain was tabbed as the Colonial Athletics Association's Swimmer of the Week.

The recognition marks the first of MacMillan's career as she helped lead JMU to a 168.5-125.5 win over Liberty in the Dukes' swason opener, delivering the undefeated Flames their first loss of the season.

MacMillan scored 22 for the Dukes, highlighted by wins in the 200 and 500 freestyle. The New Britain, Pa. native topped teammate Bonnie Zhang in the 200 freestyle with a 1:52.36 as the Dukes claimed the top-two spots. The junior dominated the 500 free, finishing six seconds ahead of teammate Claire Adkins in second place, with a time of 5:01.61.

Rounding out a strong weekend in the pool, MacMillan swam the anchor leg of the 400-freestyle relay, helping the Dukes to a second-place finish with the fastest leg of the race (51.30).

MacMillan was also selected as College Swimming News CAA Swimmer of the Week earlier on Tuesday.
