Emory University sophomore swimmer Hayden Baker, junior swimmer Kylie McKenzie and junior diver Annabel Enquist were each selected as University Athletic Association (UAA) Athletes of the Week, following their performances at Georgia Tech last Saturday.

McKenzie recorded two first-place finishes and an NCAA 'B' cut time for the top-ranked Eagles', winning the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:23.98, good for an NCAA provisional qualifying mark.  In the 100-yard breaststroke, she tied for first with a time of 1:07.12.  McKenzie also swam the second leg of the Eagles' third-place 400-yard freestyle relay (3:55.98) and claimed sixth in the 200-yard individual medley (2:12.17).  She scored 17.5 points during the Eagles' 167-130 loss to the Yellow Jackets.

Enquist recorded an NCAA qualifying score in the one-meter dive, finishing fourth in the event with a score of 259.65, surpassing the NCAA qualifying standard of 255.  She was also Emory's top finisher in the three-meter dive with a score of 258.45, placing second overall.  Enquist accounted for six points in the Emory loss.

This was second career conference athlete of the week honor for McKenzie, and the first each for Baker and Enquist.

The Emory men finished the 2012-13 dual meet season with a 1-6 record, while the women were 4-3.  All seven of the Eagles' meets came against NCAA Division I, II or NAIA squads, including three meets against SEC or ACC opponents.
