The Kalamazoo men were the only opponent not ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation.

Senior Chelsea Bueter (Swisher, Iowa/Prairie) had the most success of any Forester at the meet. She placed first by more than a second in the 200-individual medley with a time of 2:17.42. She also won the 200-breaststroke in 2:31.49, just 0.11 seconds faster than the runner-up. Senior Anne Haas (South Berwick, Maine/St. Thomas Aquinas) placed fifth in the 1000-freestyle (11:46.74) and seventh in the 500-freestyle (5:45.24).

On the men’s side junior Michael Ojdana (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Xavier) placed third in the 200-freestyle in 1:48.91 and sixth in the 500-freestyle in 5:07.97. Freshman Josh D’Angelo (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) was fifth in both the 200-freestyle (1:50.75) and 100-freestyle (50.71).

The older D’Angelo was also eighth in the 500-freestyle (5:18.56).

While the swimmers competed at Wheaton, junior diver Maggie Rezac (Omaha, Neb./Marian) won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events at the University of Chicago Invitational. Her 11-dive scores of 418.70 in the 1-meter competition and 431.40 off the 3-meter board are also NCAA National Meet qualifying marks.
