Petroff Named the Division III Swimmer of the Week
Emory University senior John Petroff was named
the Counsilman Hunsaker Division III Swimmer of the Week, based on
his performance during the Eagles' dual meet against Auburn
University.
In the team's final dual meet of the season, Petroff recorded a
NCAA ‘B' cut time in the 100-yard butterfly during the
fourth-ranked Eagles dual meet against fifth-ranked Auburn.
Petroff finished first in the 100 fly with a ‘B' cut time of
50.76 seconds. He also recorded a time of 1:59.69 in the
200-yard individual medley, good for a fourth-place finish, and a
time of 1:30.14 as part of the Eagles' sixth-place 200-yard
freestyle relay team.
Despite Petroff's performance, the Eagles dropped a 174 - 100
decision to Auburn. Emory finished its dual meet season with
a record of 5-4.
The Counsilman Hunsaker Swimmers of the Week are selected weekly,
and posted to collegeswimming.com. This is the second time
this season that Petroff has earned the honor.
Earlier in the week, Petroff earned UAA Athlete of the Week honors
as well. Petroff and the rest of the Eagles will return to
action on February 17th, as Emory will look for its
12th-consecutive conference title at the 2010 UAA
Championships.
