Jokubas Jankauskas earned athlete of the week honors after posting top-five finish in seven events, including a national title.  The sophomore earned the top-seed in the 200 back before he clocked a 1:45.45 to successfully defend his title as he won the event in back-to-back years.  Jankauskas opened nationals with a third-place finish in the 200 IM clocking a 1:48.92, a time that tied the school record.  The sophomore also posted a third-place finish in the 100 back.  Jankauskas was also part of four Patriot relays that earned All-American honors, including leading off the 400 medley relay with a 48.00 breaking the 100 back school record and helping UC to a runner-up finish.  Jankauskas was a key part of the Patriots third place finish and record 400 team points on the week.
