HOLLAND, MI - In their first action since their January training trip to Arizona, the Lake Forest College swimming and diving teams finished fourth at the Hope College Quad Meet Saturday (January 17). The host team was victorious in both meets, while the Wheaton College women and Kalamazoo College men took second. 

Freshman Chelsea Bueter (Swisher, IA/Prairie), sophomore Genia Lindsey (Albuquerque, NM/Sandia) and senior Julie Weglarz (Phoenix, AZ/Xavier College Prep) led the Forester women by combining for six top-three finishes. Bueter won the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:28.57 and was runner-up in the 200-Individual Medley (2:15.19). 

Recording two season-best times, Lindsey finished second in the grueling 1000-Freestyle (11:17.03) and third in the 200-Breaststroke (2:32.13). Weglarz matched that by taking second in the 3-meter diving competition (192.70 points) and third in the 1-meter event (171.50). 

Three other Lake Forest women posted top-six finishes. Sophomore Marie Pool (Redding, CA/Central Valley) claimed fourth place in the 100-Freestyle (56.69) and classmate Erin Colwell (Northfield, MN/Northfield) took sixth in the 200-Backstroke (2:23.17). Freshman Anne Haas (South Berwick, ME/St. Thomas Aquinas) swam her best time of the season, 11:43.60, in the 1000-Freestyle to place fifth and added a sixth in the 500-Freestyle (5:45.44). 

On the men's side, the Foresters went two-three-four in the 200-yard Butterfly in their best race of the day. Senior Aaron Lawlor (Vernon Hills, IL/Libertyville) recorded a season-best time of 2:07.11 to finish second, senior Brady Lowdermilk (Parker, CO/Regis) was third in 2:07.51 and freshman Jonathan D'Angelo (Ann Arbor, MI/Ann Arbor) took the fourth spot with a time of 2:08.16. A fourth top-six finish was registered by Lowdermilk, who placed sixth in the 200-Backstroke (2:09.67). 

Lake Forest will travel to Appleton, Wisconsin, Saturday (January 24) for a dual meet against Midwest Conference opponent Lawrence University. The meet will begin at 1:00 p.m.
