PORTLAND, Ore. – Two Central Washington University standouts were recognized Wednesday as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced its 2025-26 men's basketball all-conference teams, with junior guard
Jordan Clark earning first-team honors and junior guard
Bradley Swillie receiving honorable mentions.
"Jordan and Bradley deserve the recognition they have received from the other coaches in the league," CWU Men's Basketball Head Coach
Brandon Rinta said. "They have been a big part of the success of the program during their careers at CWU and have elevated that in their junior years."
Clark, a Seattle native, was voted to the All-GNAC First Team after emerging as one of the league's most dynamic scorers. The 6-foot-2 junior averaged 18.2 points per game, ranking among the conference leaders, while starting all 27 contests for the Wildcats. He also averaged 4.0 assists and shot 40.1% from 3-point range, highlighting his ability to score at all three levels. Clark delivered several signature performances throughout the year, including a 38-point outburst against Alaska Fairbanks on Jan. 8 in which he knocked down nine 3-pointers. He also scored 32 points at Montana State Billings on Jan. 17 and broke 1,000 points when he and the Wildcats defeated Seattle Pacific on Feb. 14. This is Clark's second All-Conference selection after receiving honorable mentions last season.
Swillie, a 6-3 guard from Tacoma, secured honorable mention recognition after an impressive campaign in which he averaged 14.9 points and 3.7 assists per game. Starting all 28 games, Swillie provided steady perimeter scoring and playmaking, finishing second on the team in assists and surpassing 20 points six times during the season. Swillie posted a season-high 29 points at Cal State Monterey Bay on Nov. 15 and added 28 against Chico State on Nov. 21. He recorded a season-best 11 assists in the regular-season finale against Simon Fraser and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds in the season opener versus CSUSB.
The honors cap strong individual seasons for both guards, who played key roles in Central's push through GNAC play and continued to elevate their production throughout the winter.
Clark, Swillie, and the 'Cats turn their focus to the postseason Thursday night, facing the fifth-seeded Seattle Pacific University in the opening round of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Tournament at WECU Court at Carver Gym in Bellingham. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
