MADISON, N.J. -- The Landmark Conference honored Susquehanna University junior Christie Savard (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) as its women's swimming & diving Athlete of the Week for the fourth time this season on Jan. 25.

Savard swam all or part of the fastest times in four events, including a school-record performance in the 500-yard freestyle, to help Susquehanna top Drew University, 80-31, and King's College (Pa.), 85-36, on Jan. 23.
