WHEATON, IL - After semester break and a training trip to Clearwater, Florida, the Lake Forest College swim team wasted no time getting back to stiff competition. The Foresters competed in the Wheaton College Quad Meet Saturday (January 17), finishing third on the women's side and fourth on the men's. The host Thunder and Hope College, top ten teams nationally, went one-two in both meets.

The Foresters' sole victory was registered by sophomore Chelsea Bueter (Swisher, IA/Prairie) in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:28.20). She also finished third in the 200-yard individual medley (2:15.63).

Freshman Mia Hable (Hudson, OH/Hudson) posted two third-place finishes. Her time of 11:14.65 in the 1000-yard freestyle bettered her previous season best by almost 14 seconds, and she clocked a 5:30.75 in the 500 free. Classmate Kathryn Hirt (McKinney, TX/McKinney North) turned in a lifetime best of 2:35.16 to place fourth in the 200-yard breaststroke.

Junior Erin Colwell (Northfield, MN/Northfield) was one of four women who added top-six finishes. She took fourth in the 200-yard backstroke (2:25.68) and sixth in the 200-yard butterfly (2:23.36). Placing sixth in one event apiece were sophomore Anne Haas (South Berwick, ME/St. Thomas Aquinas) and freshmen Lauren Petersen (Arvada, CO/J.K. Mullen) and Stephanie Kierzek (Vernon Hills, IL/Vernon Hills).

The Forester men were led by freshman Michael Ojdana (Cincinnati, OH/St. Xavier), who was third in the 200 (1:48.21) and 500 (5:05.61) freestyles and seventh in the 100 free (50.48).

Sophomore Jon D'Angelo (Ann Arbor, MI/Ann Arbor) and junior Aaron Koop (Newton, KS/Newton) combined for four top-eight finishes. D'Angelo placed fourth in the 200-yard butterfly (2:08.43) and seventh in the 500-yard freestyle (5:14.65), while Koop took seventh in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:22.90) and eighth in the 200-yard individual medley (2:11.26).
