Helena Blumenau Named MWC Performer of the Week

Lake Forest College senior swimmer Helena Blumenau was named MWC Performer of the Week on Tuesday for her performance in the Foresters' dominate win of the four-team Gene Davis Invite on Saturday.

Blumenau won all four events she was entered in during the meet. The senior also led off the 200-medley relay to start the meet. She touched the wall first in both of her individual events, winning the 200-IM (2:15.79) and 200-backstroke (2:12.64). Blumenau capped off the competition by anchoring and swimming the Foresters' fastest leg in the 400-free relay. Both relays she was on beat their closest competitors by nearly seven seconds.

The Lake Forest women won the meet with 784 points; second place finished with 445.

MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league's sports information directors. Blumenau earned the distinction once before on November 9, 2021.
