Swimming rivalry motivates Roedel and Brundage
By Mahlon Beachy
Of the Emerald
When Oregon swimmer Gwen Roedel
races in her distance freestyle events, she
faces some stiff competition — her own
teammate Babette Brand age.
Roedel, a sophomore, and Brundage, a
junior, are two of the premier stars for
Oregon’s swimming team. And when
they compete together, the duo forms a
one-two punch that rapidly puts points
up for Ducks.
They competed together at the 22nd
Annual Dolphin Invitational. The two
were in the 1000-yard, 500-yard and
1,650-yard distance freestyles. The
result: Three first places for Roedel and
three seconds for Brundage.
“They’re both fierce competitors,”
says Oregon coach Dan Cole. “One week
one will win, and the next week, it’ll
turn around.”
Last year, Roedel set a school record of
17:06 in winning the PacWest 1,650
freestyle title as a freshman. She was also
the NorPac 500-yard freestyle champion.
Brundage was the 200-yard individual
medley champion at the PacWest Cham
pionships, and as a freshman two years
ago, she won four NorPac titles, in
cluding the 200- and 400-yard in
dividual medley and the 1,650 freestyle.
“They really push each other in prac
tice,” Cole says. “They’re both very
good workout swimmers.”
The two have not only competed as
Duck teammates, either. While attending
high school in Washington, both swam
for the Highline Swim Club. Brundage
began swimming for the club at age 13,
while Roedel started with the team at age
six.
“I went to Highline when I was a
sophomore, and we’ve been swimming
against and with each other ever since,”
Brundage says. “Gwen had already been
there for a long time, and she’s always
been a little faster than me in the
distance freestyles.”
But Brundage says there is no tension
in the competition between the two.
“When we get in there and race, I
don’t feel like I have to beat Gwen. 1
think of it as that we’re going to help
each other go faster.”
Roedel agrees.
“Sure, we both want to win and go out
there to win. But whatever happens out
there, happens. It’s usually left at the
pool, and we have a really good friend
ship outside the pool."
Moreover. Brundage feels the competi
tion between the two helps them to pace
themselves better.
“You’ve always got that same familiar
stroke on that side of you. It even makes
it more relaxing, rather than having so
meone over there that you don’t know
how they swim,” says Brundage.
Both swimmers agree that the com
petition between them has increased
significantly since they have become col
lege teammates.
“In high school, I was never any com
petition to Gwen." Brundage says. "1
didn’t know how to swim until I was 12
years old.”
Brundage says it was not until her
freshman year at the University that her
times came down to a competitive level
with Roedel’s.
Thus, it was initially hard on Brun
dage when Roedel came to Eugene the
following year.
"It was really hard at first. I had just
moved my times down to her level, and I
wanted to stay where I was,” Brundage
says. "It scared me, and I think that hurt
me last year.”
The two weren’t close in high school,
but things are different now.
"We’ve talked about how it (the com
petition) was stress on both of us,” Brun
dage says.'"And we cleared it up and
now it’s no problem. I've become a lot
better friends with Gwen. I've gotten to
know her a lot better.”
Cole feels both women will continue
to excel in their swimming as well as
their lives.
"They have probably the best work
ethic and are the toughest competitors of
all the women I've coached in the past,"
Cole says. "They’re also delightful peo
ple to be around, they have a very good
sense of humor."
Both are good students, and Cole says
Roedel will probably be nominated for
Academic All-American at the end of the
year.
