CLEVELAND - - After earning a pair of individual wins last Saturday in the season-opener at UIC, Ball State senior breaststroke specialist Joey Garberick has been named the Mid-American Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week.
Â
Garberick turned in the fastest 200 breaststroke in the MAC so far this season, winning the event against the Flames with a time of 2:04.28. It was one of his two individual event wins in the meet, as he also captured top billing in the 100 breaststroke by clocking in at 55.75. It is the third-fastest effort in the league so far this season.Â
Â
Garberick, who earned MAC Swimmer of the Week honors for the fifth time in his career, also swam the second legs for the first-place 200 medley relay (1:31.68) and the first-place 400 freestyle relay (3:05.87).
Â
The Ball State men's swimming & diving program returns to action Saturday when it heads to Purdue for the Indiana Intercollegiates, which will also serve as the season opener for the women's program.
