SAINT LOUIS – Senior Marlene Pavlu Lewin has been named Missouri Valley Conference Swimmer of the Week and freshman Bailey Betzer has been named MVC Diver of the Week, the League office announced Wednesday. This is the fourth time Indiana State has earned swimmer of the week honors and the second time that ISU has earned diver of the week.

"Marlene had a great meet Saturday, which made our Senior Day celebration extra special," said head coach Josh Christensen. "She's an excellent leader for our team and I'm excited to see her finish strong this semester."

Pavlu Lewin won two events and was a member of both winning relay teams in the meet against Butler this past weekend and was huge for the Sycamores. She posted a time of 2:00.95 in the 200 backstroke putting her first overall in the conference in the event. Pavlu Lewin also took first place in the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.89.

Diver Bailey Betzer won both diving events. Her score of 278.93 in the one meter was a season-best and broke the school record. Betzer scored a 275.32 in the three meter and was also a season-best score, second-best in school history.

"It's impressive that Bailey, a freshman diver is stepping up in competition and making great strides towards her goals. She works hard and is a positive influence on the team" said diving coach Theresa Hall.
