Pacific junior Jennifer Radecke (Alameda, Calif./St. Joseph Notre Dame HS) plunged right into this season’s swim competition and earned herself a pair of Big West Female Athlete of the Week honors for her efforts in the first two weeks of swimming and diving action. On Oct. 23 at a dual meet with Florida State, Radecke blazed her way to a first-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:51.57. The following week at the Pacific Speedo Invitational, the junior showed even more of her endurance with first-place honors in the 500 freestyle (4:56.48) and in the 1,650 freestyle (17:22.38).
Pacific senior Brian Lamar (Whittier, Calif./La Serna HS) also had a solid performance at the Pacific Speedo Invitational to receive the first Big West Male Swimmer of the Week award of the season. He, too, had a top finish in the 1,650 freestyle with a winning time of 16:21.80. His repertoire didn’t end there, however. Lamar also placed fourth in the 200 butterfly (1:56.68) and was 10th in the 500 freestyle (4:41.83).
