Women's Recap
With Calvin and Hope tied at 813 points heading into the final event of the 2020 MIAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship Saturday, it was a gutsy final swim by Calvin's Hannah Chao, Hannah Brown, Valerie Edewaard, and Emily Gunderson to lift the Knights to the 2020 title.
With the A final win, coupled with points from a second-place finish in the B final in the 400 free relay, Calvin outscored Hope 867-857 as both teams held off a strong Albion squad that posted 819 points for third.
Calvin only tallied one individual win on Saturday - Chao's NCAA B cut effort in the 200 back (2:03.05), but the Knights scored well throughout the final day for the difference.
Both Hope's Emma Schaefer and Albion's Rileigh Eding posted their third MIAA titles in as many days. Schaefer's win in the 200 breast (2:20.78) marked the third NCAA B cut of the MIAA Championship. Eding touched first in the 100 free in 51.81.
Other individual winners on Saturday were Hope's Emma Engle in the 1650 free, and Albion's Samantha Swingewood in the 200 fly. It was the second MIAA title of the championship for Swingewood.
