Emory University sophomore Peter O’Brien was named the Counsilman-Hunsaker National Collegiate Swimmer-of-the-Week Honors for Division III, based on his performance during the Eagles’ dual meet against Clemson University last Saturday.

O’Brien picked up an event victory in the 200-yard breaststroke, winning the event with an NCAA ‘B’ cut time of 2:06.14.  He also finished fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke with a mark of 58.36 seconds, and claimed third as part of the Eagles’ 200-yard medley relay team (1:34.18). 

O’Brien scored a total of 11.5 points during the meet, but the second-ranked Eagles suffered a 153-138 loss to the NCAA Division I Tigers.  Emory will return to action on February 16^th, as the Eagles will travel to the University of Rochester for the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships.
