Zuri Ferguson
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Attleboro junior Zuri Ferguson has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 29 through Feb. 4. Fergsuson is the 20th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year and seventh in the winter season.

Ferguson continued her stellar career with another strong performance at the annual Hockomock League Girls Swimming Championships, held on Saturday at Milford High. She won four events, two individual and two relays, and set a pair of meet records, helping the Bombardiers (309.5 points) finish second as a team behind four-time defending champion Franklin (420.5).

“It’s always amazing to watch Zuri swim,” said Attleboro coach Darbie Sawyer. “She dominates in the pool and brings the best out of her teammates. She is so humble; you would never have known that she was a champion of four events and three records for the day. She wins a race and moves on to cheer her teammates on. That is what we love about her, she is a team player.”

Things started off strongly for Attleboro and Ferguson, who was part of the 200-yard Medley Relay. The Bombardiers took first in a time of 1:55.16, more than two seconds faster than Franklin in second. In the 100-yard free, Ferguson set a new meet record in a time of 52.18, which was more than three seconds faster than the next closest swimmer and more than a second faster than the previous top mark set in 2019. In the 200-yard Free Relay, Ferguson swam the anchor leg to help the Bombardiers finish in 145:51, two seconds quicker than the team from Canton. She followed that by winning the 100-yard Backstroke in a record-setting time of 54.37. This was more than five seconds faster than the competition and more than a second quicker than the previous record, which Ferguson set as a freshman.
