FAIRBANKS - Dorka Dancsok of the Alaska Nanooks' swim team was named the PCSC Freshman of the Week on Tuesday, Oct. 24. This came after the Nanooks' season-opening meets against Azusa Pacific in the Patty Pool on Oct. 20-21.

Dancsok had an incredible start to her collegiate career. On day one of the double dual-meet against the Cougars of APU, Dancsok posted a split time of 1:06.18 (BR) on the 400-yard medley relay. Alongside the relay successes, she picked up a pair of individual wins in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:06.60 and another win in the 100-yard breaststroke, winning with a time of 1:06.36. She also added a split time of 53.91 in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Her time in the 200 IM is currently ranked number-one in the conference; she holds that top-spot by over four seconds. Her time in the 100 breaststroke is also ranked number-one in the conference. 

On day two, Dancsok posted another pair of first-place finishes, this time in the 400-yard IM and the 200-yard breaststroke. In the 400 IM, she posted a winning time of 4:32.94, a time that places her in first in the conference by nearly four seconds. In the 200 breaststroke, she won with a time of 2:26.91, giving her her fourth #1-ranking in the conference and her fourth individual event win in her young career with the Nanooks. 

Dancsok and the rest of the Nanooks return to the Patty Center Pool this Friday and Saturday as they welcome the Cal State East Bay swim team for another double dual-meet. The two sides first compete on Friday, Oct. 27 at 5:00 p.m. before facing off one more time on Saturday, Oct. 28 at 10:00 a.m.
