Prior to Rutgers: 3-Star Recruit … Top 100 International Recruit … German National Champion in the 50 Free in 2025 … swam for Germany at European Juniors in 2025 … Qualified for the 2024 European Youth Championships … Finalist at the 2025 German Open Nationals in the 50 Freestyle … Member of the SG Neukölln Berlin women's team that won the German Team Swimming Championships in 2023
Personal: Parents are Frank Petermann and Dana Petermann-Bauer … has a sister, Janine … father competed in multiple German National championships in Judo and was a swimmer
Bauer on Choosing Rutgers: "I chose Rutgers because of the strong team culture, the inspiring atmosphere on campus, and the excellent location. The program provides the ideal balance of academic opportunity and athletic development. I felt that the environment and coaching philosophy align perfectly with my goals as both a student and an athlete."
Head coach Jon Maccoll on Bauer: "Lena is one of the top junior sprinters in all of Europe, and her experience representing Germany on the international stage speaks for itself. But what truly sets her apart is her leadership — the way she connects with everyone she meets and elevates the people around her. She brings championship-level speed and a teammate's heart, and that combination makes her special."
