Collins and Litt named Acadia athletes of the week

Ella Collins (swimming) and Rory Litt (football) have been named the Acadia athletes of the week for the period ending October 20.

Collins, a third-year kinesiology major, picked up where she left off last season at Acadia’s first meet of the 2024-25 season. Collins won three events over the two-day Amby Legere meet hosted by UNB over the weekend. She finished first in the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke events, while also finishing second in the 400m medley relay.

Litt, a third-year engineering major, had a great game Saturday at Homecoming by defensive standards. He finished with 7.5 tackles, 1.5 QB sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble.

The Axemen have a bye week before heading to Lennoxviille, Que. For their AUS semifinal on November 2, while the swim team is also off until November 2-3 when they host their home meet at the Acadia pool.
