GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Grove City College senior women's basketball player
Megan Kallock (Greensburg, Pa./Greensburg Salem) and freshman swimmer
Michael Singley (Duncannon, Pa./Susquenita) both earned weekly recognition Monday afternoon from the Presidents' Athletic Conference in honor of their respective performances last week.
Kallock earned the conference's Player of the Week award in women's basketball while Singley captured Rookie of the Week in men's swimming and diving.
Kallock helped Grove City to two conference victories last week by averaging 24.5 points per game from her guard position. She shot 75 percent (18 of 24) from the field last week, including a 7-for-11 performance on three-pointers.Â
Last Wednesday night, Kallock had 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting in only 19 minutes to help Grove City (13-8, 13-3 PAC) secure a 66-45 home win over Bethany. Saturday, Kallock fired in 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting in Grove City's 91-83 victory at Chatham.
Kallock now has nine 20-point games this season. She ranks third in the conference in scoring, averaging 18.1 points per game. That is the highest scoring average for a Grove City player since 2017-18, when Lexie Arkwright averaged 18.4 points per game.
Kallock is the first Grove City basketball player to earn weekly conference honors this season.
Singley earned two wins Saturday for Grove City at the unscored Pre-Presidents' Athletic Conference Championships Tune-Up, held at James E. Longnecker Pool. Singley won the 50 free in 50.49 seconds, then tied classmate
David Dering (Pittsburgh, Pa./Fox Chapel) for first in the 400 individual medley (4:31.73).
This is Singley's first Rookie of the Week award. He is the fourth Grove City freshman to earn the award this year, joining
Caleb Einolf (Quakertown, Pa./Quakertown),
Logan Myers (Middleburg, Fla./Homeschooled) and
Will Sterrett (Wilmington, N.C./Hoggard).
The Grove City women's basketball team will visit Waynesburg University at 6 p.m. Wednesday in conference play. The swimming and diving squad returns to action February 15-18 when Grove City hosts the conference championships in James E. Longnecker Pool.
