JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Senior CJ Jensen (Copenhagen, Denmark) has been named the Bluegrass Mountain Conference Gold Female Swimmer of the Week after her performance in C-N's dual-meet against Wingate on Nov. 14th in Jefferson City, Tennessee.
Jensen was the victor in three individual events, winning the 200-yd IM in 2:06.56, the 200-yd butterfly in 2:04.83, and the 400-yd IM with a time of 4:30.60. Jensen also was a part of the winning 200-yd medley relay who won in 1:48.01.
"This honor is definitely something I appreciate. Our conference is definitely strong with constant strong performances, so to have this honor, means a lot." Jensen said. "I'm proud to have this honor alongside Manon. She had some impressive swims against Wingate and she deserves the honor."
Jensen was a pivotal part of the Eagles staying pace with the Bulldogs throughout the meet, although the women's team was eventually defeated by a team score of 175-140.

"I hope our team can keep up our hard work heading into our next meet," Jensen said. "I know this next meet will give us a challenge, but I know we're ready and I'm excited for this competition."
