The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) announced today that Clare Slagel has been named the Performer of the Week for a second time this season.

Slagel, a freshman, participated in seven events at the Rochester Mid-Season Invitational hosted by St. Cloud State, winning the 100 and 200 backstroke. Following the meet she ranked fifth in NCAA Division III in both the 100 (55.70) and 200 (2:01.38) backstrokes, just missing the A cut for the national meet.
