CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia senior Matt McLean repeated as the Atlantic Coast Conference men’s performer of the week, the league office announced Tuesday.

McLean, a native of Sterling, Va., helped Virginia to a pair of wins over Big Ten foes Indiana, ranked 10th, and Penn State, in a two-day double dual meet over the weekend. He won four individual events and posted NCAA ‘B’ marks in two, including a time of 1:37.06 in the 200 freestyle and 4:23.28 in the 500 freestyle. McLean then led off Virginia’s winning 400 freestyle relay as the squad posted a ‘B’ time of 2:59.70. He also won the 1000 freestyle and 200 butterfly.

It is the second honor of the season for McLean, who was named the conference’s performer of the week on Nov. 16.
