Lydia Jones, Trinity University, Women's Swimming - Swimmer of the Week (Week 5)

LYDIA JONES OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a senior from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, have been selected the SCAC Women's Swimmer-of-the-Week for all meets through Sunday, November 23rd

Jones had another terrific weekend of swimming while participating in the Tigers dual meet with Claremont McKenna.

Jones got things going Friday evening with a 27.65 opening leg on Trinity's 200 medley relay, which recorded a 1:49.20 (ranking the team 13th nationally). Later in the session, she stepped up and won the 50 freestyle with a blazing 23.89 - a career PR. That time ranks her third nationally.

On Saturday afternoon, Jones kept her hot streak going by splitting a 23.58 on the second leg of Trinity's 200 freestyle relay (which clocked a 1:39.18, earning a #14 national ranking). She then won the 200 freestyle with a very solid 1:54.95 (13th in the nation at this point in the season) before lighting the scoreboard up with a time of 52.07 in the 100 freestyle, another career best and a new Trinity school record (fifth nationally).

Jones finished off a terrific weekend of racing by contributing a 52.78 to the Tiger 400 freestyle relay (which posted an excellent time of 3:39.82).
