NESCAC Men’s Swimming & Diving Performer of the Week | Weekly Release
Marrich Somridhivej – Bates - Sr. – West Hartford, Conn.
Somridhivej had a meet-to-remember against Middlebury on Sunday.  Coming off some heavy training leading into the meet, the senior found a way to swim two lifetime bests.  In the 100 freestyle, he posted a time of 45.98, but even more impressively, he touched up in a time of 53.07 in the 100 breaststroke to set a new NESCAC record.  Somridhivej was also able to post splits of 24.08 in the 200 medley relay and 20.5 in the 200 freestyle relay.
