NEWARK, NJ -- Yonatan Ahdut traveled many miles and may not have gotten much sleep this weekend, but sophomore now has some hardware for his performance. 

Ahdut was named America East Male Swimmer of the Week, the Conference announced Monday afternoon. Ahdut swam for his native Israel in the World Aquatics Open Water World Cup in Cancun on Friday, flew back to Newark overnight, traveled with the team to its meet at Binghamton Saturday morning, and proceeded to break the school record in the 1000 Yard Freestyle -- one of two pool records he set -- in the afternoon.

Ahdut swam a 9:13.97 in the 1000 Free, breaking his own previous school record. He also swam a 4:32.43 in the 500 Free. He won both events and both are now Binghamton pool records. NJIT set a total of four pool records in the meet. 

NJIT has now had two swimmers win America East Male Swimmer of the Week on the young season. Borys Endlé took home the honor on October 13 after setting an NJIT pool record in the 200 Yard Breaststroke.
