Alexander Poulsen earned athlete of the week honors after an incredible performance in UC’s first two dual matches, in which he posted six wins with 5 national cuts.  Poulsen began his Patriot career clocking a 44.29 for the 100 yard free, which broke Cumberlands school record by 0.08 seconds.  He was also on a pair of UC’s winning relays in UC’s win over Shawnee State.  Poulsen followed that up by touching the wall in 20.50 to win the 50-free with the third fastest time in program history.  The Birkerød, Denmark native also won the 100 fly finishing in 50.16 as well as the 200-free relay.  He is currently ranked top-four in the NAIA in the three individual events.
