A pair of Grand Valley State student athletes picked up weekly GLIAC awards on Tuesday following their standout performances in Allendale last week.

Senior transfer Amy Cymerman (Pittsford, N.Y.), a runner for the track and field team, was tabbed as the GLIAC Female Track Athlete of the Week after placing first in the mile (4:54.93) at the Mike Lints Alumni Open in the Kelly Family Sports Center on Friday.

Cymerman’s performance is the third-fastest time on the NCAA Division II Provisional list this season.

The conference also recognized GVSU junior diver Taylor Wiercinski for her performance against the University of Indianapolis on Saturday.

Wiercinski notched a pair of victories on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, earning scores of 288.45 and 275.77, respectively. Both were good enough for NCAA Division II ‘A’ cuts.

GVSU athletes have accounted for 10 of the 20 weekly swim and dive honors this season.
