MAC Swimmer of the Week
Dan Jackson (Widener / Jr. / Warwick, N.Y.) would capture two individual event wins and help secure two relay wins and second in another. The Pride took first overall at the 2024 Cougar Splash Invitational with 499.5 total team points. The Warwick, N.Y. native would be responsible for 54.5 of them. In his two individual events, Jackson swam a 57.73 in the 100-yard breaststroke to win by two seconds and win by nine seconds in the 200-yard breaststroke with a 2:05.40, both good enough for season bests. His breaststroke split would be second in the race in the 200-yard medley relay where the Pride took first in a 1:35.72. The leadoff split in the 400-yard freestyle relay marked a personal best as he gave the Pride a two second lead with a 46.51. Jackson capped off the meet with a 1:42.83 in the 800-yard freestyle relay which is just 0.20 behind his personal best. Jackson currently ranks first in the conference in the 100 and 200 yard freestyles and first in the 100 and 200 yard breaststrokes.
