ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Zach Ruske (Superior, CO/Monarch) of the men's swimming team won three Mid-American Conference titles at the combined MAC/Sun Belt Championships. Ruske broke the school record in the 200-yard individual medley (1:52.43) and 200-yard backstroke (1:48.50) and posted a lifetime-best in the 100-yard backstroke (50.78). He also swam on four of UB's five relays during the three-day meet, helping the Bulls establish new season best times in each race.

Tina Villa (Saratoga Springs, NY/Saratoga Springs) of the women's track and field team won the MAC title in the shot put with a toss of 51-1.75 (15.59m). The throw was a personal best for the senior and was an NCAA provisional qualifying mark. Villa's toss was more than a foot better than the second-place throw and earned her a spot on the All-MAC first team.
