Jacquet Shines Bright: Named ODAC Men’s Swimmer of the Week!

Forest, Va. — Second-year student Maximo Jacquet from the University of Lynchburg men’s swimming squad was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Men’s Swimmer of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon. 

Jacquet and the Hornets faced Mary Washington over the past weekend in their first official match in nearly two months, ultimately losing by a narrow margin of 134-128. The men’s team delivered a commendable performance, marked by Jacquet’s four top finishes.

The 2024 All-ODAC Third Teamer played a key role in both the 200-yard medley relay and the 200-yard freestyle relay, achieving victory with times of 1:36.20 and 1:27.16, respectively. He also earned first place in his individual events, completing the 200-yard backstroke in a time of 1:58.60 and the 100-yard backstroke in 52.29.

Despite the Hornets not securing victory in their latest competition, they aim to recover when they welcome Southern Virginia on Saturday, January 25 at noon in the Liberty Natatorium.
