Olivia Badaracco, Women's Swimming & Diving - Week of Mar. 16-22

VC sophomore Olivia Badaracco picked up where she left off a year ago and continues to be a dominant force for the Pirates' women's swim team. The Lake Havasu City High School product won two more races over the weekend at the Bob Miyashiro Invitational in Santa Rosa. She smashed the competition in the backstroke events, claimed gold in the 100-yard back by over two seconds before winning the 200-yard back by a whopping six seconds. Additionally, Olivia swam very fast splits in the Pirates' relay races, helping VC to a bronze in the 200-yard medley relay and a fourth place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay. For her efforts, Olivia is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
