Grinnell College’s Houfu Yan has been named the Midwest Conference (MWC) Men’s Swimming and Diving Performer of the Week after his efforts in a dual meet with Coe College on Friday and at the four-team Monmouth College on Saturday. 

Yan claimed three titles as the Pioneers won the Monmouth Invitational Saturday. He earned individual wins in the 100-yard butterfly (53.56) and 100-yard backstroke (54.56), and was also on the first-place 200-yard medley relay team (1:41.28).
