Four Emory University junior student-athletes were chosen as University Athletic Association Athletes of the Week Monday afternoon for their performances during the week of October 26 through November 1.

Zach Pelzar from the men's golf team secured the individual title at the O'Briant Jensen Memorial early last week and led the Eagles to their third team victory of the season. Pelzar shot a 54-hole total of 206 (-7) to win his first individual title of the 2026-27 campaign and close out the fall season. 

Caitlin Crysel was one of Emory's top performers in the pool on the women's side this weekend as the Eagles won their home fall invitational. As an individual, Crysel was an event winner in the 50 Freestyle (23.39) and 100 Fly (55.37) while also finishing sixth in the 200 IM (2:07.71). Crysel was also a key part of the relay teams as she was a member of all four Emory wins during the meet, helping the 200 Freestyle Relay to a time of 1:32.82, 400 Medley Relay touch at 3:45.80, 200 Medley Relay at 1:42.55 and the 400 Freestyle Relay come in at 3:23.56. Nationally, Crysel ranks second in Division III in both the 50 Free and 100 Fly events, 7th in the 200 IM, and saw Emory claim the No. 1 spot on the Division III top times lists for all four relay events.

Maya Kriz led the Emory women on the diving boards this past weekend at the Emory Fall Invitational. On Friday, Kriz topped the 1-meter leaderboard with a score of 289.05 before taking second place in the 3-meter event on Saturday with a mark of 280.95.

Solly Berkenwald headlined the Emory men's divers once again as the men's team came in first at the home fall invitational over the weekend. On Friday, Berkenwald won the 3-meter event with a score of 415.95 before posting a mark of 377.93 to win the 1-meter on Saturday.
