LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College swimmers Jenna Sasanfar (Tonka Bay, MN/Minnetonka) and Michael Ojdana (Cincinnati, OH/St. Xavier) were named Midwest Conference Performers of the Week on Tuesday (February 7) for their performances last Saturday (February 4) in a dual meet against Illinois Institute of Technology.

Sasanfar owns the women’s team’s top times this season in the 50-freestyle, 200-freestyle, and both the 100- and 200-backstroke. Ojdana has posted the Foresters’ fastest marks of 2005-06 in the 100-, 200-, 500-, 1000-, and 1650-freestyle events.
