Tartan Women Earn UAA Swimming and Diving Weekly Honors

(ROCHESTER, N.Y.) – Carnegie Mellon University women's swimming freshman Tiffany Tseng (Westford, Mass. / Westford Academy) and diving junior Maddie Mianzo (Pittsburgh, Pa. / North Allegheny) were named the University Athletic Association (UAA) Women's Swimming and Diving Athletes of the Week. Tseng earns her first honor of the season while Mianzo earns her second.

Tseng set a new pool record in the 100-yard backstroke and also won the 100-yard freestyle with a second-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly in a meet win against Washington and Lee University. Tseng's winning time in the 100-yard backstroke was 57.33 while she finished the freestyle in 53.18. Her time of 58.07 in the 100-yard butterfly capped off a day of season-best times for the freshman. Her time in the 100-yard backstroke is fifth nationally while she sits 14th in both the 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard freestyle.

Mianzo earned her first NCAA Regional Diving Meet qualifying score of the season on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards against Washington and Lee University. She topped the list of divers on the 1-meter with 278.25 points after six dives. Her score of 282.38 on the 3-meter was second for the day.

Both will be back in action this weekend as Tseng and the rest of the swimmers are at West Virginia University and Mianzo and the divers host a diving invitational. Swimming competition begins Thursday and runs through Saturday while the divers compete on Friday at 4:00 p.m. and Saturday beginning at 10:00 a.m.
