Sam Tornqvist Leads Three Virginia Tech ACC Weekly Honors Winners
Sam Tornqvist was one of three Virginia Tech athletes named in the ACC Weekly Honors, released on Tuesday.
Tornqvist, the men’s swimmer of the week, is joined by both divers of the week, Noah Zawadzki for the men and Teagan Moravek for the women. Rebecca Moynihan of Florida State is the women’s swimmer of the week.
Tornqvist posted three NCAA B cut times at the Virginia Tech Invitational this weekend. He won the 100 backstroke in 45.89 seconds, the 200 back in 1:40.66 and the 200 individual medley in 1:45.31. The graduate student from Sweden also swam backstroke on a pair of victorious medley relays.
Moynihan helped Florida State automatically qualify its 200 medley relay for the NCAA Championships at the Auburn Invitational. That squad went 1:36.39 to get underneath the A standard for the first Seminoles relay berth at NCAAs since 2019. The senior from New Zealand also helped the Seminoles improve their 200 free relay B cut. She added a B cut in the 50 freestyle (22.60) among three individual B cuts.
Zawadzki broke Va Tech’s pool and school records at the Virginia Tech Invitational with his 1-meter score of 426.75 points. It’s the highest score in the ACC this season. It also earns the senior his third ACC Diver of the Week honor.
Moravek is recognized in the weekly honors for the second time. The senior also set a pool record at the Virginia Tech Invitational, scoring 354.30 points on 1-meter.
