Five awarded by Landmark
The Landmark honored five Susquehanna athletes with its Performer of the Week awards on Oct. 26.
Freshmen Griffin Kearney and Devin Lessard were the men's and women's swimming & diving Athletes of the Week. Freshman Carol Giblin, junior back Julia Amendola and senior goalie Alyssa Kemmerer claimed the women's cross-country Performer of the Week and field-hockey and women's soccer Defensive Player of the Week honors, respectively.
In his first collegiate meet, Kearney swam all or part of the fastest times in four events. He took first place in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle races with times of 50 minutes, 63 seconds and 1 minute, 53 minutes, respectively, and swam in the fastest 400 medley and 400 free relays (three minutes, 44 seconds .82 tenths of a second and three minutes, 30 seconds and .83 tenths of a second).
Lessard set a new school record in the 100-yard butterfly in her first collegiate meet. She swam the 100 fly in a winning time of one minute, one second, and .99 tenths of a second. She also swam the fastest 100 freestyle (57 seconds and .48 tenths of a second) and 200 individual medley (two minutes, 21 seconds, and .01 tenths of a second).
Giblin led the Crusaders by finishing sixth out of 36 runners at the non-team scoring Bloomsburg Open on Oct. 24 with a time of 21 minutes, 18 seconds, and .84 tenths of a second on the 5,000-meter course.
Amendola's defensive leadership helped preserve a 2-1 overtime win. She made her team-leading fourth defensive save this season by catching a shot on the goal line in that game and helping the Crusaders secure a spot in the postseason.
Kemmerer posted back-to-back shutouts, her Landmark-leading seventh and eighth this season, to help the Crusaders to a 2-0 week. Her eight shutouts are a new single-season school record. The single-season team record is the same total. She made a game-high six saves in each game, and this is her third Landmark award this year.
