Matt Fallon Takes Home Penn Athletics Student-Athlete of the Week

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's swimming and diving team's Matthew Fallon was named Penn Athletics Student-Athlete of the Week presented by Acme after capturing first-team All-America honors at NCAA Championships last weekend.
 
He's the latest Quaker to earn Student-Athlete of the Week honors twice, joining women's track and field's Isabella Whittaker, men's basketball's Tyler Perkins, and football's Malachi Hosley.
 
Fallon swam a school and Ivy League-record time of 1:48.48 in the 200-yard breaststroke at NCAAs to pick up a second-place finish in the event.
 
He finished just behind now three-time NCAA champ and World Champion Leon Marchand of Arizona State, who is a Summer Olympic hopeful in Paris this summer.
 
Fallon completed a strong junior season in Indianapolis after winning his second-career Ivy title in the 200 breast in early March.
