Wolfe was part of a one-two Calvin finish in the 100 freestyle as she also took second e place with a time of 55.61.
Other individual winners for Calvin included sophomore Kat Vinson (Kaneohe, HI) in the 50 freestyle (25.44), Scott in the 200 backstroke (2:13.15), Wilson in the 200 breaststroke (2:29.19) and freshman Erica Deur (Holland Christian HS) on the one-meter diving board (249.90).

Bagnall also anchored Calvin’s winning 400 freestyle relay team of junior Andrew Resseguie (Holland Christian HS), sophomore John Boumgarden (Naperville, IL) and junior Peter Tuuk (Grand Rapids Christian HS) that posted a first place time of 3:13.33.
The Calvin women’s swimming and diving team is now 8-3 in dual meet competition this year while the Calvin men’s team is 2-8.
Both teams return to action on Saturday to compete in conference dual meets at Kalamazoo scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.
