There are numerous Ohio State athletes racking up the weekly awards this week, and the latest is swimmer Amy Fulmer. She was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week on Wednesday for her most recent accomplishments.
The No. 6 ranked OSU team captured the Tim Welsch classic last weekend in large part because of Fulmer’s efforts. She won the 100M backstroke with an NCAA B standard time of 51.76. Fulmer nearly doubled down by taking the 200M backstroke but finished in second with a 1:54.41, which is an NCAA B cut.
Fulmer also placed third in the 50 Free and was on the winning relay teams in the 200 free relay (1:27.65), 400 medley relay (3:30.38) and 400 free relay (3:31.80) teams that turned in automatic NCAA qualifying times. She was also on the first place 800 free relay (7:06.72) team and the second-place 200 medley relay (1:36.96) teams.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty legendary and worthy of the recognition this week from the conference.
