Even with team losses to Birmingham-Southern last weekend, Sewanee's Lee Haber and Paisley Simmons were named Tuesday the Southern Athletic Association swimmer and diver of the week, respectively. Haber won the men's 400-yard individual medley and 100 breaststroke and was part of the first-place 400 freestyle relay. Simmons won both the 1- and 3-meter women's diving events. She already had qualified for the NCAA diving regional.
