November 21, 2007        

Congratulations to California Lutheran's Christa Ratcliff for being named the SCIAC Female Athlete of the Week!

CLU:  Christa Ratcliff, Swimming
At the 2007 Nike Cup this past weekend, the senior out of Lancaster swam well under the NCAA "B" Cut qualifying standard in the 400-yard individual medley, finishing in 4:34.94 (over four seconds under). She was just a couple of seconds from the "B" cut in the 500-yard free (5:11.79). Her individual top finish came in the 1650 free coming in 28th place (18:17.12). Ratcliff is coming of an impressive '06-'07 season in which she was one of two CLU swimmers to earn an NCAA appearance for the first time in school history.
