EDISON, NJ – Saint Peter's swimmer
Patch Robinson continues his dominant rookie campaign, being named Jersey Mike's MAAC Rookie of the Week for the second consecutive week after another strong showing at Sacred Heart's Friendsgiving Duals, the league office announced Wednesday afternoon.
He becomes the first male swimmer in program history to win back-to-back Rookie of the Week honors and the first Peacock to win consecutive MAAC accolades overall since 2014.
Robinson delivered another strong performance over the weekend, earning three podium finishes across his events. He opened the meet with a silver medal in the 1000-yard freestyle, posting a time of 9:58.68, and added another silver in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:00.17. He also contributed to a bronze finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay, helping the Peacocks secure third in 1:31.42.
Robinson's consistency has been elite in his collegiate debut. He has recorded 10 podium finishes across 19 total events through the first four meets this season – including 10 podiums in 12 events during November alone. Against conference opponents, he has been even sharper, posting seven podium finishes through nine MAAC events.
He and the Peacocks now turn their attention to their final meet of the semester, the Gompei Invitational, hosted by WPI in Worcester, Mass., from December 5–7. First splash is set for 9 a.m.
