Fenwick grad swimming for Valparaiso University

Chris Rudolf, a Fenwick High School graduate, is a first-year member of the Valparaiso University men’s swim team as a sophomore.

He recently helped the Crusaders to a third-place finish in the 7th annual Doug Coers Invitational held at Ball State University Nov. 19-20 by scoring points with an 11th-place finish in the 100-meter butterfly race with a time of 59.72 seconds.

Rudolf was a Division II district qualifier in swimming his senior year at Fenwick. He qualified in the 100 breaststroke and also was part of the district-qualifying 400 freestyle relay team.

In the Greater Catholic League, Rudolf placed second in the 100 breast and fourth in the 100 fly to earn a spot on the GCL all-star second team.

Rudolf went to Valparaiso to play baseball, but redshirted his freshman season and currently is not listed on the 2010-11 baseball roster.
