COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— After starting their season with a convincing team win over visiting Western Colorado University on Saturday, the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks swept the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's Swimmer and Diver of the Week awards that were announced by conference officials on Monday.

Transfer Lily Borgenheimer took the swimming award after touching first in all three of her events during her Maverick debut while setting a school-record and NCAA Division II Championship provisional qualifying time in the 200-yard breaststroke while fellow junior Jolynn Harris won the diving award for the fourth time as a Maverick after winning the 3-meter event.

Borgenheimer, a transfer from Minnesota State, where she was the 2019 NCAA Division II Championship Runner-Up in the 200 breast, won that event on Saturday by nearly 14 seconds as she posted a time of 2:16.77 (2:15.57-altitude adjusted) to smash the former Maverick mark of 2:17.19, which had been set by Miranda Reetz at the 2015 RMAC Championships.  Her solid NCAA "B" cut time leads the early-season NCAA Division II performance by nearly 11 seconds.

The Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, product, also posted a national-leading time of 2:09.34 (2:08.14-altitude adjusted) in the 200 individual medley during an exhibition swim and won the 50 free in 24.95 seconds, the seventh fastest time in Division II thus far in the 2020-21 campaign.

Meanwhile, Harris won the 3-meter diving event by 27.3 points as she scored 258.98 points on six dives, a new career-high for a 6-dive competition.  The Des Moines, Iowa native also took second behind teammate and returning all-American Ali Lange on the 1-meter with a score of 231.00 points.  Harris won the RMAC award three times last year.

The Mavericks dominated Saturday's dual, posting a 190-90 team win over the previously unbeaten and now 2-1 Mountaineers, to extend their RMAC dual-meeting winning streak to 23.  CMU had the top two performers in each of the 16 events on Saturday and the top three in 15 of them.  They exhibitioned each of the last four swimming events.

The Mavericks are in action again this week as they will travel to Greeley, Colorado for a Thursday matinee (2 p.m.) at Division I Northern Colorado.
