W&J SWEEPS PAC SWIMMING/DIVING AWARDS FOR SECOND TIME IN THREE WEEKS (1/25)

WASHINGTON, Pa. -- Washington & Jefferson College swept the Presidents’ Athletic Conference Swimmer/Diver of the Week awards for the second time in three weeks on Monday.  Sophomores Jonathan Weeks (Donora, Pa./Ringgold) and C.J. Corcoran (Harleysville, Pa./Souderton) were honored by the conference office. 

The Presidents have earned each of the last three PAC women’s weekly awards.  Freshman Jami Andrews (Greensburg, Pa./Hempfield) was the Jan. 11th honoree, while sophomore Bethany Haver (Akron, Ohio/Harvey S. Firestone) notched last week’s award.  Washington & Jefferson owns a league-high four women’s weekly awards this season. 

Corcoran helped the Presidents record a 159-119 victory over Penn State-Behrend on Saturday at the Henry Memorial Natatorium.  Corcoran won the 100 breaststroke (1:10.46) and 500 freestyle (5:33.59) events before leading the 200 freestyle relay to a triumph in a time of 1:43.03. 

On the season, Corcoran ranks among the top seven PAC swimmers in five different events.

Weeks collected a trio of victories during Washington & Jefferson’s 182-112 win over PSU-Behrend.  He touched first in the 100 freestyle (49.58), while also claiming the 100 (55.01) and 200 (2:01.65) butterfly events.  His time in the 200 butterfly is the third-best mark in the conference this winter. 

Weeks also had three victories on Jan. 13th during Washington & Jefferson’s 122-72 triumph over Bethany.  He racked up individual victories in the 100 butterfly (55.53) and the 100 freestyle (50.28) before helping the 200 freestyle relay end the meet with a win in a time of 1:32.61.

W&J (7-4 women; 5-5 men) closes the dual-meet portion of its schedule on Saturday when hosting Hiram at 1:00 pm.  The Presidents will honor the eight seniors on the 2009-10 roster during the meet.
