PHILADELPHIA - Three Dragons have been honored with the NSCA 2014 All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete Award. Women's basketball players Fiona Flanagan (Penn Valley, Pa./Notre Dame de Namur) and Abby Redick (Roanoke, Va./Hidden Valley) join men's swimmer Andrew Reimon (Rutherford, N.J./Rutherford) in earning the distinction from Drexel.
The All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year Award program recognizes those collegiate athletes whose athletic accomplishments, in the opinion of their strength coach, reflect their dedication to strength training and conditioning.
Flanagan, a senior finished her Drexel career as the program's all-time leader in games played at 132 career appearances, a record she set during CAA semifinal play this past season. She is also just one of two players to appear on the program top-10 lists in both field goal percentage (7th, .456) and three-point percentage (1st, .408). Flanagan set that Drexel three-point percentage record by 26 percentage points.
Senior forward Abby Redick started 28 games during her final year of play and made 108 college appearances. She had seven double-digit scoring outings during the season, including the program's first and still only triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in the win at William & Mary.
During 2014, junior Andrew Reimon swam his way to number one on Drexel's All-Time Top 5 list in the 100-breast. At CAA Championships, he also tied the school record in the 100-breast, stopping the clock at 55.99. Reimon aided the team in their tri-meet against Loyola, Lafayette, and Seton Hall with a first place finish in the 200 back with a 2:09.89. He was also victorious against George Washington, Delaware and Northeastern in the 100 and 200 breast.
