WOMEN'S SWIMMING AND DIVING

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Anna Serino was named the MIAA Swimmer of the Week for her performance this past Saturday against Hope. This is the second time this season that Serino claimed the honor.
"Anna defined what we talked about pre-meet," said head coach Dan Gelderloos. "She was courageous when she was put in that situation, and she came through with some good times and more importantly, good results."
Serino, a sophomore from Pinckney, Michigan, played a key role in Calvin's 150-146 comeback victory on Saturday over arch-rival Hope, swimming in three of the final four events.
She took first place in the 200-yard freestyle, where Calvin recorded the four fastest times at 1:58.63.
Serino then picked up first-place points in the 500-yard freestyle, with a winning time of 5:18.26.
She helped keep the Knights alive with a third-place finish in the 200-yard IM at 2:17.10.
Serino would get right back in the pool for the final race of the day and swim the anchor leg for the B-relay in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The Knights needed to take first and second, and they did. The B-relay took second with a time of 3:42.82, securing the Calvin victory.
Serino and the Knights return to action on Saturday when the Maroon and Gold host Albion at 1 p.m. at the Venema Aquatic Center.

A native of Eaton Rapids and a graduate of Eaton Rapids High School, Wolfe also posted a .991 fielding percentage at first base.
Wolfe was subsequently named to the All-MIAA first team as well as to the ABCA Division III All-Mideast Region third team.
