Griggs won four events and placed second one more en route to two dual meet wins for EMU
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University junior men's swimmer, Justin Griggs, was honored with his first Mid-American Conference Swimmer of the Week award as announced by the conference office Tuesday, Jan. 26.
Griggs won four races and placed second in another in leading Eastern Michigan to two dual meet wins, including a victory over Ball State that extended the Eagles dual meet win streak to 52 straight.
Against Wayne State, Griggs won the 100-yard fly and swam the second-fastest split for the first place finishing 200-yard medley relay team. He finished second in the 50-yard free as well and his time of 20.94 was good for second-best in the MAC this season.
In the win over Ball State, Griggs recorded the sixth-fastest time in the MAC in both the 100-yard free and 100-yard back with times of 46.64 and 51.07, respectively.
The Australian native is in his first semester with the Eagles and has already made an immediate impact as EMU strives for its fourth consecutive MAC title and 29th overall in the program's history.
