I'm Jacque Wenger, co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Lead Consultant at Lane Line Recruiting LLC. As a four-year athletic scholarship recipient competing on the Michigan Wolverines Men's Swimming & Diving Team in the Big Ten Conference (B1G) with a background in sport management and economics, I understand the complex world of collegiate swimming recruitment from a unique, insider perspective.

My Journey

My 16-year competitive swimming career has been defined by dedication, achievement, and continuous growth. This journey began at the age of five in our local YMCA pool culminating in me winning every U6 event I entered in the championship that season. Within a year, I joined my first USA Swimming club coached by a former Michigan backstroker and I was off to the races, literally.

Now, as I approach retirement at the end of my senior year at Michigan, I fondly look back at some of my most memorable swimming achievements, including:

  • Competing in the 100m backstroke at the 2024 United States Olympic Team Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

  • Breaking the 15-18 National Age Group (NAG) record in the 4x100M Medley Relay at 2022 Speedo Junior Championships with my teammates, Nick Mahabir, Logan Noguchi, and Sam Quarles.

  • Being named to Michigan Wolverines Men’s Swimming & Diving top ten all-time leaderboard in 100 and 200 backstroke and 200 IM; a collegiate team dating to 1921 with 19 National Championships, including 12 NCAA Championships, that produced more than 400 All-Americans and 100 Olympians.

  • Earning B1G scholastic honors, as well as being named a USA Swimming Scholastic All-American and College Swimming & Diving Coaches Associate of America Scholar All-American.

From my first significant USA Swimming achievement, winning the San Diego U10 long course championship at age eight in 2012 and being named the youngest member of the San Diego all-star team that year, all of these accomplishments have been fraught with many losses, missteps, and disappointments along the way. But athletics have taught me the importance of strategic planning and persistent effort. This I promise to instill in our clientele as we guide them through the ever-changing collegiate swimming landscape.
