MWC Swimmers and Divers of the Week
Nov. 7, 2007 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - TCU's Scott McCracken and R.J. Hesselberg earned Mountain West Conference Men's Swimmer and Diver of the Week honors, respectively, while Wyoming sophomore Megan Evans and senior Brittany Wainwright were named MWC Women's Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively. McCracken accounted for three wins to help lead TCU to an upset win over Conference foe Air Force last Friday. In the 50 freestyle, he recorded a time of 20.79, which ranks as the best time in the league this season. He also won the 100 freestyle in a time of 46.85. With TCU holding on to a narrow margin heading into the final event, McCracken was a member of the 400-freestyle relay squad that took the top spot in a time of 3:05.86 to clinch the team victory. Hesselberg won the 3-meter diving event, while placing second in the 1-meter dive vs. Air Force. He set a personal-best in the 3-meter event with a score of 347.33, which also ranks as the second-best point total in TCU school history and the top mark in the Conference this season. In the 1-meter, he recorded a score of 279.38 to place second behind teammate Kyle Callens. Evans, a Fort Collins, Colo., native, brought home three individual titles in the Cowgirls' dual meet victory at Denver, breaking into the Wyoming record books in all three events in the process. Her winning time in the 100 breaststroke (1:05.06) is the fourth-fastest time in school history, while her time of 2:19.71 in the 200 breaststroke ranks fifth all-time. She also turned in a time of 2:06.53 in the 200 individual medley, which ranks fourth all-time in the Wyoming record books. All three of Evans' times are the fastest in the MWC this season. Wainwright, from Evanston, Wyo., won the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events vs. Denver. She began the meet by winning the 1-meter dive with a score of 264.53, which was less than half a point from NCAA Zone qualification. She followed with a victory in the 3-meter event with a score of 240.90.
