BOSTON - Senior Kyle Ernst is this week's GoTerriers.com Student-Athlete of the Week, following an impressive weekend where he broke three individual schools records and earned Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet at the America East Swimming & Diving Championships.
To begin the four-day weekend, Ernst swam the second leg of the winning 200-medley relay that clocked in at 1:28.91. He then turned his attention to the individual races where he broke three school records and one meet mark. In the 200 IM he placed second, but reset the school record with a time of 1:50.30. In his specialty - the breaststroke - Ernst kicked it up a notch winning both the 100 and 200 events in record pace. For the 100 breaststroke, he touched in 55.14, and for the 200 he clocked in at 1:59.50. Both times are NCAA consideration times.
For his efforts he was named the Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet.
