Swim & Dive's Eleanor Felton Named GEICO Student-Athlete of the Week

WASHINGTON - For her outstanding and school-record setting performances at the 2020 Patriot League Championships, sophomore Eleanor Felton of American University swimming and diving has been named the GEICO Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 17-23.

Felton was a part of two school records, including an individual one. She swam the program's second-best time in the women's 100 butterfly prelims before breaking the 11-year old record in the consolation final with a time of 55.45 to place 10th overall.

Teaming up with senior Alex Brosvik, junior Kyra Manson and junior Abby Longstaff, Felton was also part of the women's 200 freestyle relay which placed seventh in a school-record time of 1:34.55. The same foursome came 0.11 seconds away from setting a school record in the 200 medley relay on night one of the championships.

Just days after the PL Championships, Felton broke an 11-year old Reeves Pool Record at the annual Eagle Invite with a 100 fly time of 55.92, less than a half second off her school record time.
