Samy Helmbacher<\/strong> of Pittsburgh has been named the ACC Men\u2019s Swimmer of the Week, and Notre Dame\u2019s Joe Coumos<\/strong> has been selected as the Men\u2019s Diver of the Week. On the women\u2019s side, Jen<\/strong>\u00a0Marrkand<\/strong> of Virginia has been tabbed as the ACC Women\u2019s Swimmer of the Week, and Cami\u00a0Hidalgo<\/strong> has been named the Women\u2019s Diver of the week.<\/p>\n

Helmbacher shined for Pitt against No. 22 Virginia and LSU. The sophomore from Rosheim, France, placed first in the 200 IM with a time of 1:47.52, and won the gold in the 400 IM at 3:49.83, both NCAA B cuts.<\/p>\n

Coumos placed first on both the 1-meter and 3-meter in Notre Dame\u2019s meet against Georgia Tech. The Tomball, Texas, senior recorded a 333.90 in the 1-meter competition, and a 357.75 in the 3-meter competition for the Irish.<\/p>\n

Marrkand helped No. 13 Virginia defeat both Pitt and LSU. The senior from Westford, Massachusetts, won five events in the meet, including three individual events and two relays. Marrkand touched the wall in 1:58.02 in the 200 fly, and 2:01.58 in the 200 IM, both NCAA provisional times.<\/p>\n

Hidalgo won the 1-meter competitions against both No. 17 Notre Dame and Northwestern, and she placed first on the 3-meter against the Irish while finishing second in the event against the Wildcats. The freshman from Mission Viejo, California, defeated 2016 NCAA Champion and All-American Olivia Rosendahl of Northwestern on the 1-meter.<\/p>\n
