The Calvin women finish their dual meet season with an impressive 11-3 mark while the Calvin men finish with a dual meet record of 4-8 including 3-2 against MIAA foes.

In the women’s meet, freshman diver Erica Deur of Holland Christian High School continued to shine as she shattered a pair of school records while posting strong NCAA III qualifying marks as well. In the one-meter competition, Deur posted a first place and NCAA III automatic qualifying score of 261.40, breaking her previous school record of 256.40 set earlier this year. Deur then took it a step further by winning the three-meter competition with an NCAA III automatic qualifying score of 281.55, breaking her record 268.95 set just last week. Deur’s score on the three-meter board is the fourth-best score posted this year in NCAA III women’s diving.
