Towson earned a clean sweep for Wednesday’s announcement of the latest Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) weekly swimming and diving awards as junior Jack Saunderson and freshman Will Canny took home the respective Men’s Swimmer and Diver honors, while sophomore Annemarie Schnoor was named Women’s Swimmer of the Week and junior Emily Wilson picked up Women’s Diver of the Week recognition.

Saunderson’s fourth weekly award of the 2017-18 season comes after the junior recorded a first and second place individual finish as well as a pair of team relay wins as the Tigers defeated Loyola Maryland in a mid-week meet on Jan. 24. He won the 200-yard butterfly with an NCAA B cut time of 1:47.35 – which ranks second in the CAA for the event this season behind his own top performance. Saunderson finished second in the 500 free and also swam a leg on TU’s winning 200 medley relay and 400 free relay teams.
