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 17^th, as Emory will look for its 12^th-consecutive conference title at the 2010 UAA Championships.
