Oakland swimmers earn Summit League weekly honors
ELMHURST, Ill. – Oakland’s Alyssa Busch and Anders Jensen were named The Summit League’s Swimming and Diving Athletes of the Week for their performances at the Eastern Michigan Invite. It is the fourth time this season that Oakland has swept the weekly league awards.
Busch, a native of East Moline, Ill., earns her first career Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Week honor after recording two NCAA ‘B’ Cut marks, three meet records and two pool records. The junior won the 200-yard backstroke in a league-best 1:58.82 to record a NCAA ‘B’ Cut time and set a pool and meet record. She also touched the wall first in the 100 back with a NCAA ‘B’ Cut and meet record time of 55.16, the fastest league time this season. Busch added one more first-place finish for her squad as a member of the 400-yard medley relay team, which set a pool and meet record.
Jensen captures his fourth career Swimming and Diving Athlete of the Week award and second-straight this the season after posting four NCAA ‘B’ Cut qualifying times, four pool records and six meet records at the Eastern Michigan Invite. The junior led the Golden Grizzlies to an overall second-place finish with four individual first-place finishes and two relay wins. He won the 100- (47.63) and 200- (1:43.45) back events with both marks qualifying as NCAA ‘B’ Cut times and set meet and pool records.
Jensen also won the 100-yard butterfly (48.49) and the 200 individual medley (1:49.30), setting two more meet records with league-best times. He was also part of the 200 and 400 Medley Relay teams that posted qualifying NCAA ‘B’ Cut times and set meet and pool records with league-best times.
The Oakland swimming and diving teams will not be in action until 2012 when the women take on Akron on Jan. 7 at Ocasek Natatorium. Both teams will return to the pool on Jan. 14 as they host Cleveland State and Xavier in the OU Aquatics Center.
