FREDERICK, Md.--Sophomore Alex Bodine of the men’s swim team and freshman Shannon McHale of the women's swim team have been tabbed Hood College Athletes of the Week for the week ending Jan. 7.
Bodine, who went to Urbana right here in Frederick, had a very good meet over the weekend and helped Hood to a split in the double dual at Albright over the weekend. Bodine won the 100 fly in illustrious fashion, as he set a school record in the process with a time of 55.09.

Bodine also registered his fourth victory of the season in the 100 back, swimming to a time of 55.92. Bodine also came in second place in the 200 back in what was a very productive day for the sophomore.
