Auburn swimmer Joe Patching was named the SEC Men's Swimmer of the Week Tuesday by the Southeastern Conference.
The sophomore recorded two individual wins last weekend against Tennessee and Louisville, winning the 200 individual medley and the 200 freestyle.
His 1:46:40 time in the 200 IM was the second-fastest time in the nation this season, and while he came in second in the 200 back, his 1:44:02 was the third-fastest performance in the nation this season.
This is Patching's second SEC honor this season and his fifth recognition in his career.
Auburn finishes its fall season Dec. 5-7, at the Georgia Invitational in Athens, Georgia.
