Landmark Announces Men's S&D All-Conference

TOWSON, Md. - The Landmark Conference announced its 2023-24 Men's Swimming & Diving All-Conference Teams. 

Swimmer of the Year - Nicholas Heinio-Widell (Drew University)
Diver of the Year - Charles Connolly III (Catholic University)
Rookie of the Year - Nicholas Heinio-Widell (Drew University)
Coaching Staff of the Year - Catholic University (John Bodden)

Heino-Widell showcased an extraordinary performance in his Landmark Conference debut, clinching both titles of Landmark Conference Swimmer of the Year and Rookie of the Year. Dominating in all seven events he contested (four relays and three individual races), he not only secured victory but also shattered three Landmark Conference Championship meet records and reset three school records. Additionally, he achieved an NCAA B cut, further solidifying his exceptional talent.

Heino-Widell's remarkable achievement follows in the footsteps of senior Hayden Koh, who accomplished the same feat two years prior, making him the second Ranger in the last three years to sweep both Athlete and Rookie of the Year awards.

On Sunday, Heino-Widell concluded his outstanding performance with a remarkable finish in the 100-freestyle, touching in at 45.55 – surpassing his own school record and breaking the meet record that had remained unchallenged for six years.

Meanwhile, Connolly secured the title of Diver of the Year for the second consecutive time, demonstrating unmatched skill in both platform competitions. This marks the third consecutive season that a Cardinal diver has been honored with the award.

Bodden and his coaching staff were rightfully recognized as the Coaching Staff of the Year following the team's stellar performance throughout the weekend. The Cardinals' program clinched a total of nine gold medals, securing a hard-fought victory over Drew with a final tally of 830.5-803 across the four-day championship event.

Catholic's impressive achievement brings them within striking distance of Merchant Marine's conference record of nine championships, solidifying their position as one of the top contenders in the league.
