PENN ST. ALTOONA'S FISHER, BEHREND'S SIMON NAMED CO-SWIMMERS OF THE YEAR AS ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM IS RELEASED

Penn St. Altoona sophomore Alex Fisher and Penn St. Behrend junior Dan Simon have been named Co-Swimmers of the Year in the AMCC.  Both men led their teams in a close battle for the conference title earlier this month, with Behrend prevailing for the eighth straight time.

Fisher and Simon shared the high point scorer award at the AMCC championship two weeks ago.  Fisher was victorious in the 200 IM, 100 and 200 breaststroke events.  Simon won the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke events, qualifying for nationals in the 100 back after being ranked all season in the Division III top ten.

Behrend freshman Nick Kost was selected as Newcomer of the Year.  He won the 200 backstroke and 400 IM in a season that saw him set several school and AMCC records.

Men's Coach of the Year honors went to Greg Scallen of Penn St. Altoona, who guided the Lions a second place finish at the conference championship.
