CENTER VALLEY, Pa. -- Members of the Navy men's and women's swimming and diving programs combined to garner a trio of awards from the Patriot League this week. Kevin Mukri (Sr., Silver Spring, Md.) and Mallory Dietrich (Fr., Pittsburgh, Pa.) were selected as the league's swimmers of the week, while Katie Griffin (Jr., Ellicott City, Md.) was tabbed as the league's female diver of the week.

Mukri, who received the accolade for the third-straight week, tied for first place in the 200 backstroke and placed fourth in the 100 backstroke during Navy's double-dual meet against Cornell and Yale last weekend in New Haven, Conn. Mukri was clocked in a time of 1:49.54 to remain undefeated on the season in the 200 backstroke, while recording a time of 51.44 in the 100 back race. He has won 21 of his 25 individual event races on the campaign.

Dietrich garnered her second weekly award of the season from the Patriot League after her efforts last Saturday against the Bulldogs and the Big Red. She won both breaststroke events with times of 1:04.57 in the 100 breast and 2:19.31 in the 200 breast, respectively, and placed second in the 100 fly with a time of 57.60. The showings improved her combined individual event record on the season to 30-1.

Griffin, meanwhile, swept both boards during the meet to improve to 19-1 on the year. She posted scores of 254.55 on the one meter and 249.10 on the three meter to win the two events by a combined 54 points.

In addition to receiving the nods from the Patriot League, Dietrich and Griffin also were selected as the ECAC swimmer and diver of the week, respectively.

Both Navy programs will next compete Jan. 27 at Penn.
