NEW YORK—Three Sarah Lawrence College student-athletes have been selected by the Skyline Conference as weekly honorees, as announced by the league on Tuesday. Sophomore Hannah Lawson (Portland, Ore./Pacific Crest Community School) collected the first Skyline Women's Swimmer of the Week recipient of the season, while senior Cameron Martinez (Aledo, Texas/Aledo) became the league's first Men's Swimmer of the Week. First-year Gryphon Devon Peal (Springfield, Va./West Springfield) was named Women's Swimming Rookie of the Week.
