Gooooo, Jen!!!

One of my former Masters coaches, Jennifer (Jen) Beckberger, who swam for ASU and now swims for the Canada national women's team, is looking to compete in the 2012 Olympics in London. She recently competed in the Pam Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico (10/15 and 10/16), and her team came home with the Bronze for the Women's 4x100 Freestyle relay. She narrowly held off a gal from Venezuela by the smallest of margins (she won by .18 seconds). I'm so proud of her. Here's the link to the video (her swim starts at 6 minutes 30 seconds into the video -- she's the relay anchor in lane 3).
She was such a good coach to our Masters team and I am so happy she is going on to really great things. Here are a couple of pictures I snagged from CBC Sports:
