The GW men’s swimming and diving team finished in ninth place out of 10 teams at the Atlantic 10 Championships this weekend, but for the second time in three years one Colonial had some extra accolades to bring home.

Junior David Zenk picked up most outstanding performer honors at Flickinger Aquatic Center in Buffalo, N.Y., along with three individual titles in the 200-yard backstroke and the 200- and 400-yard individual medleys. Zenk also grabbed the top honor at the 2006 A-10 Championships.

Across Zenk’s entire season, the junior from St. Louis won more than 90 percent of his races, faltering in just two. Zenk also spent some extra time in the pool as part of GW’s men’s water polo team.

A strong showing from freshman Andrew Maguire helped GW reach its total of 174 points. Maguire finished 14th in the 200-yard breaststroke and 15th in the 100-yard butterfly.

Massachusetts was the top team at the championships, totaling 791.5 points.

The women’s squad finished tenth of 10 teams with 189 points. Richmond was the medalist, scoring 791.5 points.
