The men's and women's teams won the Don Kimble Invitational this past weekend.

DETROIT -- The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) has announced its weekly awards following week nine of the 2022-23 swimming & diving season. Wayne State nearly swept the awards, with Jordan Fox (Melbourne Austalia) earning women's swimmer of the week, Mikaela Senkus (Macomb, Mich. / Utica Academy for International Studies) receiving women's diver of the week honors and Grant Porter (Haslett, Mich.) getting men's diver of the week recognition.

Fox has earned her first GLIAC Swimmer of the Week honor this season after a strong showing at the Don Kimble Invitational this past weekend (Nov. 18-20). Fox won the 500 free by posting a time of 4:58.94. She then went on to win the 200 free by touching out in a time of 1:51.40. She showed her versatility by claiming the top spot in the 200 back. She recorded a time of 2:03.15. Individually she also claimed second in the 1650 free by notching a time of 17:09.85.

Relay wise, Fox aided a pair of first-place finishes and one second-place finish. Fox led off the winning 800 free relay team and helped that group post a time of 7:37.74. She then anchored the winning 400 free relay, as that quartet registered a time of 3:28.72. She also anchored the 400 medley relay, where WSU's team finished second with a time of 3:51.86.

Senkus continued her strong start to the season, as she earned her third GLIAC Diver of the Week honor in the last month. As she has done for most of the season, Senkus won both the one-meter and three-meter diving competitions at the Don Kimble Invitational this past weekend. In the three-meter event, she topped the field by more than 30 points, finishing with a score of 442.70. In the one-meter competition, Senkus was able to edge her teammate for the top spot. She finished with a final score of 385.85.
