Cortens had a record-setting weekend for the swim team while Creedon took first in the pentathlon.
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College senior Taylor Cortens from swimming and sophomore Jessica Creedon from women's track and field have been named the Nissan Eagles of the Week following their performances last week.
Â
Cortens earned three individual wins and contributed to one first-place relay finish against Dartmouth on Friday night. His 100-yard individual medley time of 52.64 set the all-time program record, and the senior captain now holds 11 Boston College records. He also placed first in the 100-yard butterfly (51.16) and 100-yard backstroke (52.14). The relay squad of Cortens, Billy Miller, Colin O'Leary and Colin Derdeyn earned first in the 200-yard medley relay, finishing in 1:33.50. Against Marist on Saturday, that same 200-yard medley squad took first in 1:33.67. Cortens also won the 100-yard breaststroke (57.03) and the 200-yard individual medley (1:54.48).
Â
Creedon won the pentathlon at the Havard Multi Meet on Friday night with 3512 points. The sophomore took first in the 800-meter dash in 2:25.00 and had second-place finishes in the long jump (16'11.25") and high jump (5'4.5"). Creedon wrapped up the five-event competition with a third-place finish in the shot put (32'9.75") and fifth-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles (9.34).
