Male Freshman of the Week Jan. 5 - 11, 2025
Asher Kates, UC Santa Cruz
Asher had a great backstroke triple on Saturday vs. FPU. He opened up the day with a split of 24.46 in the 50 back, leading off the Slugs' A 200 medley relay, which took first. He followed that up with a win in the 100 back in a time of 51.49. He also finished the backstroke triple with a win in the 200 back in a lifetime best of 1:52.70. That time stands as the third fastest in the PCSC this season.
This is Asher's third Athletes of the Week honors of the season.
