Junior has won seven consecutive individual races
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Without question, Lucy Matheson is on some kind of roll.
Â
Tuesday, the junior from Longmont was named the Mountain West Swimmer of the Week for the second consecutive week after helping Colorado State women's swimming and diving beat rival Wyoming in the Rams' lone home swim meet, extending their dual winning streak to 18 in a row. She is the first Ram to ever earn the honor in back-to-back weeks and the first to earn it twice in a single season since Jessica Shepard in 2013-14.
Â
For the second straight week, Matheson won all three of her individual events, posting wins in the 100- and 200-yard backstrokes, as well as the 100 butterfly. She also led off the 200 medley relay team which won with a time of 1:44.69.
Â
Matheson won the 100 back in a time of 57.61, leading a 1-2 finish for Colorado State. She won the 200 back with a time of 2:04.31, the capped her day with a 56.39 in the 100 fly, again triggering a 1-2 finish for the Rams.
Â
Matheson has won her past seven individual events, dating back to a double dual meet with Colorado School of Mines and New Mexico State. Her time of 55.30 in an earlier meet still stands as the top time in the conference in the 100 fly.
Â
This is the fifth time this season the team has earned a weekly honor from the conference. Lexie Trietley has been named Freshman of the Week twice, and Erin Dawson earned the swimmer honor earlier this season.
Â
The Rams return to action on Dec. 2-3 as they travel to Albuquerque, N.M., for a double dual with New Mexico and Air Force.
