CENTER VALLEY, Pa. -- Navy's Tara Chapmon (So., Virginia Beach, Va.) and Adam Meyer (So., Bethesda, Md.) garnered Patriot League Swimmer-of-the-Week honors Tuesday afternoon. For Chapmon it is her third weekly accolade from the league this season, while Meyer previously earned the nod October 30th.

Chapmon set a Navy record in winning the 1650 freestyle event last weekend at the Terrapin Cup Invitational in nearby College Park. Her clocking of 16:49.81 won the event by seven seconds and broke the previous Navy standard of 16:55.03 set by Jenn Windstein in 2003. Additionally, Chapmon's performance was also an NCAA 'B' cut qualifying time.

Chapmon also won the consolation final of the 200 freestyle at the meet with a time of 1:51.38 and placed third in the 500 free with a time of 4:55.46. Both times are the third-fastest in Navy history in their respective event.

Meyer tallied victories in a trio of events during Navy's double-dual meet against Brown and Dartmouth last Saturday in Bristol, R.I. He posted a time of 1:52.84 to win the 200 individual medley, recorded a time of 1:51.73 to win the 200 butterfly and won the 200 breaststroke with a clocking of 2:07.55. Each of his victories came by a margin of at least 2.6 seconds. Meyer also improved his record in those three events this season to a combined 14-0.

The Navy swimming and diving teams will next be in competition Nov. 29 when the Midshipmen play host to Army.
