Malone recorded victories over Notre Dame (OH) as well as fellow conference member Alderson Broaddus this past weekend and Hammond played a part in that with his efforts.
He swam in three events and took home first in two of them. He moved into Malone’s all-time Top 10 in the 1,000-yard freestyle with his winning time of 10:23.06.
He followed that up with a third-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly. He finished the competition with his second first-place finish in the 200 yard IM with a time of 2:06.57.
His 1,000-yard freestyle time ranks as the eighth best time in the conference in that event this season.
This is the third time this season a Malone swimmer has won the Men’s Athlete of the Week with the other two coming in the form of freshman diver Dominic Mariano and freshman Brice Dixon.
