Virginia senior Michael Raab was named ACC swimmer of the week on Monday. The award comes on the heels of Raab's sixth place finish in the 200-meter butterfly at the 2004 FINA World Championships at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Raab, a three-time ACC champion in the event, finished with a time of 1:54.95 in the finals. His time secures him a spot at the 2005 NCAA Championship. Raab's time also broke the 200-meter butterfly short course record of 1:54.97, set by Texas' Kendrick Rainer. Raab was ranked second heading into the finals with a qualifying time of 1:55.05 and was the only collegian to qualify for the finals.
