John Hu (Oak Harbor, Wash.) of the Stevens Institute of Technology men’s swimming team was named the Empire 8 Swimmer of the Week. Hu helped key the Ducks to a convincing win at Misericordia University on Saturday in their season-opener.
Hu set two Misericordia pool-records in his two wins, clocking a 1:55.18 in the 200-yard butterfly and a 1:58.37 in the 200-yard individual medley.
The Ducks won by a 175-82 final, posting the top time in 13-of-14 events and totaling eight different new pool-records.
Stevens will return to action on Saturday, November 3 when it hosts SUNY New Paltz in the Ducks’ home-opener.
