Valpo men's swimming junior Jackson Oostman (Aurora, Ill./Marmion Academy) became the first swimmer in program history to swim in a postseason competition last week, as he took to the pool for four events at the 2025 CSCAA National Invitational Championship in Ocala, Fla.
 
Oostman opened the meet on Wednesday morning by posting a time of 23.81 in the 50 back. Thursday morning, the junior covered the 100 back in 50.85. Friday morning, Oostman swam in a pair of events back-to-back, with only 10 minutes between swims — he recorded a time of 52.41 in the 100 IM, and turned around in the 200 back with a time of 1:53.45.
 
The postseason competition concludes a stellar junior season for Oostman. The junior was a two-time MVC Swimmer of the Week and had four program-record swims at the MVC Championships.
