WORCESTER, Mass. – Sophomore Andrew Villani has been named the Hilton Garden Inn Crusader of the Week, for competition from November 2-8. Villani led the Holy Cross men’s swimming and diving team to a successful weekend in a pair of meets.

During Saturday’s Worcester City Championship, Villani finished in first place in both the 100-yard butterfly (48.93) and the 100-yard freestyle (46.44). In the 100-yard butterfly, he broke both his own program record and the Hart Center pool record. Villani also set a new Hart Center pool record in the 100-yard freestyle, breaking a mark that had stood since 1990. 

In addition to his accomplishments at the Worcester City Championship, Villani swam a leg on the first-place 200-yard freestyle relay team (1:24.81) during Friday’s meet at Bryant. 

Holy Cross returns to action when it takes part in the Harold Anderson Invitational in Kingston, R.I., from Nov. 19-22.
