Swimming Sweeps ACC Weekly Honors
November 04, 2014 | Swimming & Diving
Louisville sophomore Matthias Lindenbauer and teammate Tanja Kylliainen helped the Cardinals capture two ACC Swimming and Diving weekly awards, as each turned in solid performances against Cincinnati this past weekend.
Louisville's Lindenbauer, who earned ACC Male Swimmer of the Week honors, was sensational in the Cardinals win over Cincinnati, finishing first in two individual events and one relay. The Dortmund, Germany, native finished first in the 200 free with a time of 1:38.81 and took home the 500 free with a time of 4:34.81. In the 200 free relay, Lindenbauer posted a split time of 20.41 as the Cardinals took first place.
Louisville's Kylliainen grabbed ACC Female Swimmer of the Week after a strong showing against the Bearcats. Kylliainen finished first in two individual races and combined to win a relay, finishing the meet as the top scorer for the Cardinals. In the grueling 1650 free, Kylliainen touched in 16:38.00 after leading wire-to-wire. In the 400 IM, she emerged victorious with an NCAA B-cut time of 4:13.64. As part of the winning 200 medley relay squad, she recorded a split time of 26.03.
