Michael White Jr. (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) of the men's swimming and diving team has been selected as the Le Moyne College Athlete of the Week, presented by King + King Architects, as announced by the department on Monday afternoon.
White collects the honor after winning two individual events and teaming on a relay victory in Le Moyne's 139-102 victory over Canisius University on Saturday. The team victory marked the program's first over a Division I opponent since the transition to the Division I level.

The Dolphins return to the pool on Saturday, January 25, hosting Niagara University at 1:00 p.m. The program's senior class will be honored by the Dolphin Athletic Association prior to the start of the meet.
