Three Tennessee swimmers earned Southeastern Conference weekly honors Tuesday after the Vols finished second at the College Swimming League event, Tennessee Athletics announced.
Junior Koby Bujak-Upton was named the SEC Men's Co-Swimmer of the Week, and freshmen Charlotte Crush and Drew Eubanks were each named SEC Freshman of the Week. It is the first time Bujak-Upton has won the SEC swimmer of the week award. Crush and Eubanks have now each earned Freshman of the Week honors three times.
Bujak-Upton turned in his best meet of the season so far, with two top-two finishes and two season-best times. He won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:32.20, a time Tennessee said ranks as the second-fastest in the nation this early in the season. He also placed second in the 500 freestyle in 4:15.20.
Crush has been one of the best freshmen in the country. She won the 100 backstroke in 49.06 seconds, breaking both the Tennessee school record and the SEC record. The previous SEC record of 49.20 was set by Bella Sims on Feb. 21, 2025. Crush also finished second in the 100 butterfly and the 200 backstroke, and she swam on the 200 freestyle relay team that broke its own program record with a time of 1:24.76.
According to Tennessee, Crush ranks in the top two nationally in three individual events this season and has the fastest time in the country in the 100 backstroke.
Eubanks posted two more top-three finishes. He placed third in the 100 breaststroke in 52.63 and swam on the 200 medley relay team that finished third in the 4x50 medley relay Super Skins.
Breaking an SEC record in November is a strong early sign for Tennessee's swimming and diving program as it builds toward the conference championships later in the season. Raw 100.5 will keep following Vols swimming and diving.
