Augustyn Named UAA Swimmer of the Week

Emory University junior Patrick Augustyn was named the University Athletic Association’s (UAA) Men’s Swimmer of the Week, following his performance at the second-ranked Eagles home meet against Darton College and the Savannah College of Art & Design.

Augustyn finished first in two events during the meet, including a victory in the 200-yard butterfly with a ‘B’ cut time of 1:52.96.  He also swam the butterfly leg of the Eagles’ 400-yard medley relay team, which won the event with a time of 3:28.00.  In the 100-yard butterfly, Augustyn claimed second with a time of 50.79 seconds. 

Augustyn’s efforts helped second-ranked Emory to a 193-50 win over Darton College, and a 151-111 victory against SCAD.  The Eagles improved to 3-3 this season in dual meets with the victories.

This is the second time this season that Augustyn has been honored as the UAA Swimmer of the Week.  He previously earned the honor on November 15^th, following the Emory Fall Invitational.

Augustyn and the rest of the Eagles will return to action this weekend, as Emory will travel to Wingate University on Saturday, January 29^th.
