In his senior year of 2003-04, the freestyle specialist set a school record (since broken) in the 50 free and went on to earn All-American honors in the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard, 400-yard and 800-yard free relays.
    
For his career, Weems was a 10-time First Team Empire 8 Conference all-star, earning top E8 honors for the 200 free three consecutive years from 2002-04. As a senior, he also won an Upper New York State Collegiate Swimming Association (UNYSCSA) title in the 200 free.
    
In his junior year of 2002-03, Weems was instrumental in leading the Saxons to their first-ever UNYSCSA team title. For his career, he swam on teams that won six UNYSCSA relay titles (three in the 200 free relay, two in the 400 free relay and once in the 400 medley relay).  
    
Weems swam on teams that set school and Empire 8 records in the 200 free relay in 2002 and the 400 relay in 2004.
