Shippensburg University junior Olivia Carver was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Women's Swimming Co-Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon by the league office.
 
Carver and her teammates had a busy week, competing in two dual meets in a four-day span (Tuesday at IUP, Friday at home vs. Cal (Pa.) and Fairmont State).
 
Against IUP, Carver won the 200-yard butterfly by touching the wall in 2:17.69. The swim was just two seconds off her personal best set at Gettysburg last year and was one of seven performances on the night by the Raiders that satisfied the PSAC Championships qualifying standards. She came back later in the meet to pace the Raiders in the 500-yard freestyle, placing third with a PSAC cut of 5:27.78, and swam the second leg of the 200-yard freestyle relay that posted a time of 1:42.40.
 
In a Friday night tri-meet sweep of Fairmont and Cal, Carver delivered a victory in the first individual event of the night, the 1,000-yard freestyle, by completing her laps in 11:05.35 (another PSAC cut). She then came right back and swam in the next event, placing second in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:00.78 for yet another PSAC cut. If that wasn't enough, Carver also swam in the 100-yard freestyle later on, finishing second in 55.61 seconds for her third PSAC cut of the night.
 
It is the second PSAC weekly recognition of Carver's career. Carver is the first SU swimmer to be named Athlete of the Week since her previous honor on Feb. 3.

Carver shares this week's honor with Bloomsburg's Megan Luddecke.
