TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State swimming and diving sophomores Michel Arkhangelsky and Maryn McDade were named the ACC Swimmers of the Week on Tuesday, the league announced.
The conference honors come following Arkhangelsky and McDade's performances at the season-opening FSU Invite at the Morcom Aquatics Center from Sept. 26-27. Both are recognized for the first times in their careers.
"I am really excited for Michel and Maryn, they work extremely hard and are incredibly deserving of this award," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "I could not be happier for them."
Florida State sweeps the men's and women's swimmer of the week honors for the first time since November, 2022. McDade also is FSU's first women's swimmer of the week since November, 2022, and Arkhangelsky is bestowed with the Seminole's first men's swimmer of the week since February, 2024.
The Seminole duo both won seven events at the FSU Invite, each with three individual victories and wins in all four relays.
Arkhangelsky took home individual wins in the 50 freestyle (19.54), 100 freestyle (42.75) and 50 butterfly (20.77). His relay wins came in the 200 medley, 100 freestyle, 100 medley and 200 freestyle. The sophomore from Nice, France, is coming off an impressive inaugural season, where he won an ACC championship in the 100 backstroke, was an ACC runner-up in two more events and earned First Team All-American honors.
McDade was named the ACC Women's Swimmer of the Week after she won the 50 freestyle (22.72), 50 butterfly (23.98) and 100 freestyle (50.03). The Fleming Island, Florida, native also played a key role in all four relays, swimming the leadoff leg of the 100 and 200 freestyle victories and also helping her relay teammates to wins in the 100 and 200 medley.
The Seminoles will head to Atlanta, Georgia, next to compete in the Dual Meet Tournament from Oct. 17-18 at the McAuley Aquatic Center.
