CALVIN WEEKEND SPORTS WRAP-UP FOR FEBRUARY 1-2, 2003
MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SWIMMING AND DIVING
The Calvin men's and women's swimming and diving teams closed out dual meet campaigns on Saturday with a pair of non-conference victories over host Lake Forest College.
In the men's competition, Calvin topped Lake Forest 126-95 while the Calvin women came up with a 137-105 win. The Calvin men close out their dual meet season with a 7-5 overall record while the Calvin women finish with a 9-4 dual meet mark.
Saturday's competition was held in a 25-meter pool. Consequently, none of the times will count toward NCAA III qualifying marks. A highlight of Saturday's meet however came in the men's 100 meter butterfly as senior Peter Boumgarden of Naperville, Illinois, established a new pool record with a sub 57 second finish.
Both Calvin teams will now break until February 13 when they open up competition at the MIAA Championships at the Holland Aquatic Center. Hosted by Hope College, the MIAA Championships will take place February 13, 14 and 15.
