Duquesne University freshman swimmer Jim O'Hara (Fountain Hills, Ariz./Brophy College Prep) has been named an Atlantic 10 Co-Rookie of the Week for the week ending Jan. 20.

O'Hara picks up his first A-10 Rookie of the Week honor after placing first in three individual races on Jan. 19 as Duquesne earned a 139-122 win versus Xavier. He touched first in the 100-yard freestyle (48.30), 200-yard freestyle (1:44.64) and 500-yard freestyle (4:48.80) events and also swam a leg on the 400-yard freestyle relay that registered a pool-record time of 3:11.82.

The Red and Blue return to action this Saturday as they travel to La Salle for a noon meet.
