Coming off strong performances at the Bruno Invitational last weekend, swimmer Caitlin Marshall (Noblesville, IN/Noblesville) and diver Katherine Nardone (Weston, MA/Weston) have been selected University Athletic Association (UAA) Athletes of the Week.

Both team members were instrumental in the Violets' second-place finish at the competition, which was hosted by NCAA Division I Brown University in Providence, RI, from Friday-Sunday, December 3-5.

Marshall posted the fastest 200 butterfly time in NCAA Division III this season with her second-place, 2:00.88 outing. Her busy weekend also included a seventh-place finish in the 500 freestyle (5:01.33), a ninth-place finish in the 100 butterfly (56.35), and a 10th-place showing in the 800 freestyle relay (7:47.75).

Nardone excelled in both diving events, taking third place in the 1-meter dive with a score of 263.40 points. In the 3-meter event, she finished sixth with a total score of 237.10. 

NYU finished second only to host Brown, and ahead of Johns Hopkins University and the University of New Hampshire in the four-team meet.   

The Violets' next competitions take place on Thursday and Friday, January 13-14, 2022. The NYU Diving Invitational will be at the Palladium Athletic Facility both days, while the swimmers will compete at Stevens Institute of Technology on Friday and host them on Saturday.
