NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. – Two Penn State Altoona men's swimmers have earned All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference status, as the league announced its postseason awards on Friday morning.

Junior Isaac Swanson (Clearfield, PA/Clearfield) and freshman Luke Pletz (Jefferson Hills, PA/Thomas Jefferson) each took first team All-AMCC honors, and Swanson also picked up a second team nod. AMCC all-conference teams are determined by swimmers' finishes during the conference championships, which were held February 16-19 in Webster, N.Y.

Swanson's first team All-AMCC selection came in the 1,650 Yard Freestyle. The junior took first place in both the AMCC and the overall Empire 8-AMCC standings in that event, which was held during the fourth and final session of the AMCC Championships last Saturday. Swanson finished with a time of 16:37.45, placing first out of 21 total competitors while also setting a new Penn State Altoona men's swimming team record in that event.

Swanson also took second team All-AMCC status in the 200 Yard Freestyle, after he was the AMCC runner-up in that swim last Friday night with a time of 1:44.62. He took fourth place out of 10 total swimmers in the 'A' final, and he came in second out of four AMCC competitors.

Pletz earned his first team all-conference recognition in the 200 Yard Backstroke during Saturday's session, in which he led all AMCC swimmers with a time of 1:58.71. The freshman took third place out of 10 total swimmers in the 'A' final, finishing first among three AMCC swimmers in that heat.
