Donovan Not Included in National Meet Field
Freshman
Jessie Donovan
(Mount Vernon, Wash. / Mount Vernon HS) had an outstanding first
season swimming for Pacific Lutheran University, but the proverbial
icing on the cake didn’t materialize as she was not included
in the NCAA Division III national meet field. The field was announced
on Friday, Feb. 23.
The NCAA Division III Women’s Swimming Championships are
scheduled for March 8-10 in Houston, Texas.
Donovan had hoped to qualify in her specialty, the 100-yard backstroke,
but her national meet provisional qualifying time of 59.49 was about
one-half second below the cutoff for the event. Donovan’s
time, which she swam in a dual meet against Whitworth College on
Jan. 19, 2007, is second fastest in PLU women’s swimming history.
