(GCA) — Grace Christian Academy would like to congratulate its Class of 2024 graduate, Kean Pajarillaga, for his recent success in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference or MIAC Swimming and Diving Competition.
As noted in the Macalester post:
Pajarillaga “was voted Men’s Co-Rookie of the Year after collecting the MIAC championship in the 200 back at his debut conference meet. The first-year also earned a trio of All-Conference honors as a relay participant. He is Macalester’s second Rookie of the Year honoree in the last three swimming & diving seasons (Skye Schmit, 2023) and the first recipient from the Scots’ men’s program.”
When asked his thoughts about this success, Pajarillaga stated, “I was excited to receive rookie of the year award and also first place in the 200 back. I will keep working hard, though, to improve all my times. I want to thank God, my family, my coaches and my Macalester Swim and Dive Team for supporting me. I also want to give a shout out to my coach back in Saipan, Coach Hiro, his wife, Ms. Yuko, and the rest of my friends for all their support.” Coach Hiro and his wife congratulated Kean for his accomplishments and expressed how excited they are for the next stage.”
The GCA community is very proud of Kean and excited for all that is ahead for him.
