Emory University junior Paul Weinstein was named the Men’s Swimmer of the Week for the University Athletic Association (UAA), based on his performance during the second-ranked Eagles’ dual meet at Wingate University last weekend.

Weinstein recorded the best time by an Eagle this season in the 1,000-yard freestyle, finishing second in the event with a time of 9:47.51.  He also claimed fourth place in the 500-yard freestyle, the best finish by an Eagle in the event, with a time of 4:49.93.  Weinstein scored six points for the Eagles at the meet, but Emory fell to the 11^th-ranked Bulldogs, 131-90.

The conference Athlete of the Week honor marked the first of Weinstein’s career.  The two-time all-American becomes the fourth member of the Emory men’s swimming and diving team to be honored by the UAA this season.
