Lake Forest swimmer Rob Edgell, a senior from Alsager, England, has been selected as the Forester Athlete of the Week.

At the NCAA Division III Championships in Atlanta, GA over the weekend, Edgell earned three Honorable Mention All-American honors by competing in the consolation finals and finishing in the nation's top 16 of three events. The three awards doubled his All-American honors for his career. Edgell was also an Honorable Mention All-American in 1997 (200 free) and twice in 1998 (200 free and 200 IM).

Edgell took 13th in the 200 medley with a time of 1:54.59. He swam the 100 back in :52.25 to finish in 16th place and he took 15th in the 200 back with a time of 1:52.17.

This was Edgell's fourth trip to the NCAA Championships. He qualified every year of his Lake Forest career.
