News & Notes Contact: Scott Rucker, SID TEN FORESTERS GARNER ALL-CONFERENCE DISTINCTIONS Junior Karie Schuenke (Quincy, IL) and sophomore Randi Estes (LaBelle, FL) each won three individual and three relay events, and shared Conference Female Swimmer of the Year honors. Schuenke prevailed in the 100 back, 200 back, and 400 IM, while Estes won the 200 free, 200 fly, and 200 IM. The pair combined with Kara Esicar (Hannibal, MO) and Erin Motzer (Libertyville, IL) to win the 400 free and 400 medley relays, and with Motzer and Lark Mills (Arlington, TX) to win the 800 free relay. Motzer, who claimed a total of four conference titles in her first conference meet, also won the 1650 free. Esicar won two individual events - the 50 free and 200 breast. Senior Rob Edgell (Alsager, England), the 2000 MWC Male Swimmer of the Year, led the men's squad with four titles, including three individual events (100 free, 200 free, and 200 IM). Edgell teamed with Brandon Johnson (Phoenix, AZ), Steve Williams (Leawood, KS), and Joe Zemaitis (Scottsdale, AZ) to win the 400 medley relay. Johnson also won the 200 back, Williams the 100 and 200 breast, and Zemaitis the 200 fly. Diver Marcus Collins (Milwaukee, WI) won both diving events (1- and 3-meter). Both men's and women's teams finished in third
place, behind Lawrence and Grinnell. Lawrence won the men's championship
while Grinnell captured the women's title. A lack of depth hindered both
teams. The Forester men competed with just 9 swimmers and 2 divers, while
the women had 10 swimmers and 1 diver.
