Grinnell College Athletics

Grinnell College’s Ian Dixon-Anderson ’17 of Princeton Junction, N.J. (West Windsor-Plainsboro) was recently named the Midwest Conference Men’s Swimming and Diving Performer of the Week.

Dixon-Anderson played a big role in the Pioneers winning their own Grinnell Invitational for the third year in a row. He placed second in the 200-yard butterfly and 400 individual medley with times of 2:00.31 and 4:14.66, respectively. His time in the latter is second-best in the MWC this season.

He was third in the 500 freestyle in 4:47.33 and 100 butterfly in 54.78. The 500 freestyle time also ranks second in the MWC.

Dixon-Anderson is the eighth Pioneer to earn MWC Performer of the Week honors this season.
