Swimmer Emma Peters Named GoTroubies.com Athlete of the Week

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Junior Emma Peters was named the GoTroubies.com Athlete of the Week for the week of April 8-15.

"Last week at leagues was really exciting," said Peters. "I got my first PR in the 200y freestyle in over a year and I also reached the final in the 100y butterfly and got third. It was exciting to score points for the team and get out there and race."

Peters led the team with a second-place finish in the 200y freestyle and third place in the 100y butterfly at the Delta League Championship finals. She clocked a personal-best 1:54.20 in the 200y free dropping 4.41 seconds from the prelims and 59.67 in the 100y fly. She will swim both events at the sections.

Peters was also part of the 200y medley relay that placed fourth and the 400y freestyle relay that touched second.

St. Francis finished second overall behind league champion Davis. Peters qualified to swim both her events with the relay entries at the Sac-Joaquin Section Championships May 2 and 4.

"I really excited to personally see what I can do to improve my times," said Peters about the sections. "I have certain goals I am shooting for to get myself ready for college swimming eventually. I am excited to the team come together because we have a lot of swimmers going this year. It will be fun to all be there."
