MONMOUTH, Ill.
– With the
Midwest Conference meet less than one month away, Monmouth College
swim coach Keith Crawford is hoping his teams begin their
traditional late-season peak. Crawford got a look at how his teams
are shaping up last weekend at the University of Chicago
Invitational where the men finished 4th and the women placed 7th.
Anne Lane had the best overall performance by any of Crawford’s
clan. Lane brought home seconds in the 400-yard individual medley
(4:53.04) and the 200- butterfly (2:17.23). Her 200- butterfly time
was just three-one hundredths off her own school record. The
sophomore also took third in the 100- butterfly (1:03.41) and teamed
with Jessica Houser, Megan Wentzlaff and Heather Plum to finish 9th
in the 200- medley relay (2:08.25). Lane, Plum and Wentzlaff were
joined by Meaghan Gritzenbach to swim to a 9th-place finish in the
400- freestyle relay (4:14.94). Lauren Nelson joined Lane, Wentzlaff
and Plum in the 800- freestyle relay to finish 8th (9:15.97). Plum
took 8th in the 1650- freestyle (20:13.96).
Personal-bests were recorded by Nelson in three events
– the 100-
backstroke (1:14.41), finishing 14th , the 200- backstroke
(2:38.81), 8th, and her 15th place time in the 1650- freestyle
(21:28.85). Jessica Houser recorded her season’s best in the 200-
backstroke (2:47.12) to finish 13th.
The Scots got points in the diving well, which could
significantly help their performance at next month’s MWC meet. Kayce
DeRoo finished 3rdin the one-meter dive, totaling a school-record
311.80 points. On the men’s side, Jack Clifford picked up points
with his personal-best 272.45 points in the one-meter.
In the men’s pool, Chad Rowland, Josh Van Swol, Dan Campione and
John Kaiser had the Scots’ best relay finish
– 4th in the
800-yard freestyle relay (7:45.72). Rowland also had a 4th in the
1650 freestyle with a personal-best time of 17:43.65 and Ed Novak
finished 9th in the same event (18:59.64). Novak’s time in the 200-
freestyle (1:58.34) was good for 8th. Campione, Kaiser, Kevin
Satler, and Tom Pederson finished 6th in the 200-yard medley relay
(1:47.84). Swol, Jon Peterson, Joe Moran and Steven Whittle finished
9th in the same event (1:449.15). Kaiser (4:37.07), Harrison Heilman
(4:44.07) and Satler (4:44.64) finished 7, 8, 9 in the 400-
individual medley. In the 200- butterfly, Kaiser swam to a 5th place
finish (2:08.31) and Heilman placed 9th with a personal-best
2:17.70. Campione logged a 7th place finish in the 100- backstroke
(1:00.78). In the 100- breaststroke, Peterson finished 5th (1:04.93)
and Satler was 8th (1:06.27). Satler also placed 9th in the 200-
breaststroke (2:26.17). The Scots grouped points in the 200-
backstroke. Van Swol was 6th (2:08.45), Rowland 7th (2:12.83) and
Heilman finished 9th (2:15.47).
The Scots travel to Coe Saturday for a dual meet.
