Whitman finished up fall semester competition at the annual Northwest Invite at Lewis and Clark. Both the men's and the women's teams held a very steady third place against University of Puget Sound, Whitworth University, Pacific Lutheran University, Lewis and Clark College, Linfield College, Pacific University, College of Idaho, and Cal State-East Bay.
Highlights of the successful weekend were two first place finishes from a pair of first-year Whitties. After finishing 3rd in prelims with a time of 2
:17.27, Katie Chapman swam a brilliant race, winning the event by less than .7 seconds in a season best time of 2:14.07. On the men's side, Kevin Dyer maintained a dominant lead for all 17 minutes of his 1650. Winning the event in 17:10.29, Kevin finished a strong 24 seconds ahead of the second place finisher from Whitworth.
We have returned from our fabulous California training trip! Our seven day trip was fortunately placed in the m
iddle of two rainy weeks, and we had sunny skies every day. During this trip, we increased our yardage, our dryland, and our team bonding, and we participated in the Cal-Lutheran Relay Meet as well.
