This is the first time that a men’s swimming and diving team member has been honored by the conference.   Johnsen was named the Swimmer of the Year at the Landmark Swimming & Diving Championships as he helped the Mariners repeat as champions. Johnsen won three individual events at the meet, placing first in the 500 freestyle, the 1,650 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. His times in each event were the fastest in the conference this season, and his winning time of 51.25 to win 100 fly is an NCAA provisional qualifying time.   The Mariners return to action on Friday, February 20th when they compete in the Metropolitan Championships.
