COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Ryan Campbell and
Guillaume Guth have swept the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men's Diver and Swimmer of the Week awards after they helped led the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks to a convincing team victory at this week's UNLV Finis Invitational, the conference announced on Thursday afternoon.
Guth, who has now won three of the RMAC's Swimmer of the Week honors this season, won six events while taking second in two other as the Mavericks scored 996 ½ team points to finish 207 ahead of host UNLV and three other NCAA Division I teams at the 3-day meet in Las Vegas.
The Toulouse, France native who represented his native country in the 2024 Paris Olympics, won both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events and helped the Mavs take the meet's first four relays before helping CMU set a season-best time of 2:54.31 in the 400 free meet, a time that put moved the Mavs up to fourth on the national list.
He and his relay teammates eclipsed the NCAA "B" cut standards in all 14 opportunities throughout the meet while his 200 free time of 1:34.69 during the 800 free relay also went under the NCAA "A" standard.
Campbell, a native of Delmar, New York, is now the third Maverick man to win RMAC Diver of the Week honors this season joining 3-time winner
Jax Juarros and
David Roethlisberger.
Already assured of a trip to the NCAA Division II Pre-Championship qualification meet before the meet, Campbell once again surpassed the qualifying standard in all four of his 6-dive attempts during the meet, placing second on the 1-meter springboard on Monday with a score of 318.95 points before taking third in Wednesday's 3-meter final with 308.80 points after scoring 317.40 in Tuesday's preliminary round.
Campbell was last year's RMAC Diver of the Year and now has two career weekly honors since joining the Maverick program in 2024-25.
The RMAC did not bestow women's awards this week as fewer than half of the conference's nine women's teams competed. The next batch of awards in January, will include the Mavs' performances at the UNLV meet.
The Mavericks are now off for the holiday break before returning to competition on Jan. 17, when they will take on Denver and Wyoming, one of the four teams the Mavs beat this week, in Denver.
