SAN FRANCISCO - The Conference office announced today that Mallory Korenwinder of ARIZONA was named Pac-12 Women's Swimmer of the Week and UCLA’s Eloise Belanger was voted Pac-12 Women’s Diver of the Week for December.

Belanger (Montreal, QC, Canada) nearly swept UCLA's annual Bruin Diving Invitational, registering wins in the 1-Meter and 3-Meter competitions, as well as a runner-up finish on Platform. The December Pac-12 Women’s Diver of the Month competed against divers from California, Stanford and USC, as well as a number of other schools at the Bruin Diving Invitational. Belanger led throughout on Day 1, when she tallied a score of 636.00 to take the 1-Meter. A day later, the junior posted a strong final-round performance to record a total score of 650.25 and overcome Mia Paulsen of Stanford. Belanger tallied scores of 650.25 in the 3-meter for first and 539.35 in platform for second.

Korenwinder (Tulare, Calif.) won both the 100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard breaststroke at a quad meet against Northern Arizona, New Mexico State and Rice. The sophomore clocked times of 1:03.76 in the 100 breast and 2:20.20 in the 200 breast. Korenwinder was just shy of the NCAA “B” standard of 1:02.49 in the 100 breast.
