EVANSTON, Ill. - Northwestern has named its Athletes of the Week for November 13. The selections were made based on athletic competition from November 6-12.

MALE -- Todd Capen, Swimming
Senior Todd Capen (Lisle, Ill./Naperville North) led the Wildcats in a dual meet against Wisconsin Friday with two wins and a second place. He took victories in the 200 backstroke (1:51.80) and the 400 individual medley (4:00.71), while placing second in the 100 backstroke (52.25).

FEMALE -- Rachel Evjen, Cross Country
Sophomore Rachel Evjen (Eau Claire, Wis./North) was Northwestern's top runner in every race this season, and Saturday was no different as she clocked 21:13 over the 6-kilometer course at the NCAA Midwest Regional in Waterloo, Iowa. That allowed her to finish 11th overall and earn All-District for the second year in a row. She led the Wildcats to a fourth-place finish in the 23-team field.
