Penn State's Amberle Biedermann and Northwestern's Chelsea Davis have been named Big Ten Swimmer and Diver of the Week, while Purdue's Chris Etherington and Indiana's Ryan Fagan have been named Big Ten Men's Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively.

Biedermann has been named Swimmer of the Week for the second time this season after she placed in the top two in all four events she competed in. The senior and her 200-yard freestyle relay team swam to an NCAA "A" qualifying time in 1:36.03 fashion. She also claimed two NCAA "B" standard marks as she earned first in the 200 butterfly in 2:00.40 and helped her 200 medley relay team place second with a time of 1:43.76. The Colorado Springs, Colo. native tallied another second place finish in the 100 butterfly in 56.51. Biedermann's last weekly honor was Nov. 29, 2005.

Davis picks up her third weekly honor this in her freshman campaign as she has been named Diver of the Week after sweeping both the one and three-meter diving events for the third time this season. She scored 291.67 points on the one-meter board, defeating the rest of the competition by more than 23 points. Davis went on to claim a 38-point victory on the three-meter competition and was the only diver to break the 300 mark with a score of 336.29. SHe has also been honored on Nov. 15 and Dec. 6, 2005.

Etherington collects Swimmer of the Week accolades for the first time in his career after claiming six first-place finishes in a dual meet win against Arizona State, 182-165. The freshman and mid-season addition claimed two individual races in the 100-yard freestyle (46.53) and the 100 butterfly (48.80). His time of 48.80 in the 100 butterfly enters Etherington into the Purdue record books with the second fastest time in school history. He went on to help four relays earn first place as the Boilermakers claimed the 200 freestyle (1:23.82), 200 medley (1:30.89), 400 medley (3:20.31) and 400 freestyle (3:03.73) relay events.

Fagan earns Diver of the Week honors after placing in the top two in both the one and three-meter diving events last weekend. The senior was the runner-up on the one-meter board with a score of 301.28. He then claimed the three-meter event in personal-best fashion with a score of 368.18. Fagan now sits at No. 8 in IU school history in the three-meter dual-meet competition. This is the first weekly honor of his career.
