Bronx, N.Y. - As the 2024-2025 season begins to wind down, the Fordham University Athletic Department held its 91st annual Block F Awards Dinner in the Rose Hill Gym on Wednesday night to honor Fordham University's student-athletes for their accomplishments during the academic year.
Among those honored was women's swimming's senior
Ainhoa Martin, who was the recipient of the Hobbs Award as well as being named team MVP.
The Claire & Jack Hobbs Memorial Award is presented to the Female Athlete of the Year who has achieved outstanding athletic accomplishments. The award is named in honor of the late Claire and Jack Hobbs. Jack was a 1938 graduate of Fordham College and a 1941 graduate of Fordham Law, and he and his wife were avid Fordham followers.
Martin, who also won the Hobbs Award last year, won two individual titles at the 2025 Atlantic 10 Championship. She took gold in the 400 individual medley for the second straight season in 4:13.40, as well as the 200 breaststroke event in 2:11.55 for First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors. Both winning times were NCAA "B" cut times. Martin also picked up a silver medal and Second Team All-Atlantic 10 accolades in the 200 individual medley, as well as a bronze as a part of the 800 freestyle relay, which set a school record in 7:17.59. Academically, she was named to Academic All-Atlantic 10. Martin closes out her Fordham career tied for the most A-10 titles of any swimmer in the history of Fordham swimming (six) and only the second female swimmer to qualify for NCAA's.
