Swimmer Richard Gaczewski (N. Tonawanda) was named Buffalo State's Athlete of the Week.

The freshman was a triple-winner at Fredonia on Tuesday, as he helped the Bengals' men's team to its first win of the season, 99-92. Gaczewski swam a lifetime best by 12 seconds in the 1,000 free, touching first in a time of 11:20.20. He also established a new personal season best in the 500 free as he clocked a winning time of 5:21.43. Gaczewski also swam the butterfly leg of the winning 400 medley relay team that finished in 4:16.68. All three times established pool records in the brand new Steele Hall Natatorium.
