LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College swimmer Brandon Johnson (Phoenix, AZ/Brophy) has been named Midwest Conference Male Swimmer of the Week for his contributions to the Foresters' three dual meet victories last weekend (November 9-10th).

In Friday's double-dual meet at Benedictine University, Lake Forest defeated the host 71-21 and Illinois Wesleyan 57-38. Johnson won both the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:42.97) and the 500-yard freestyle (5:13.97) and led off the winning 400-yard freestyle relay (3:31.14).

On Saturday the Foresters hosted and defeated Carthage College by just three points (100-97), making Johnson's first-place finishes in the 800-meter freestyle (9:19.14) and the 400-meter freestyle (4:31.48) extremely important. His margin of victory in the two races was 2.27 and 0.02 seconds, respectively.

The Midwest Conference Swimmers of the Week are chosen by the league's sports information directors.
