Hope College's Conner Halberg has been chosen as the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Men's Swimming Athlete of the Week.
The freshman from Novi, MI (Northville HS) is claiming the honor for the third time this season and in his career after helping the men's swim and dive team to a victory over Kalamazoo College, 192-83.
Halberg set a new school record in the 200-yard freestyle, as he clocked a time of 1:38.94 to take home first place in the event. That time and Hope College record currently puts him with the 10th fastest time in the 200-yard freestyle in the NCAA Division III for this season.
