ATHLETES’ CORNER

The swimming and diving teams have just wrapped up record-smashing seasons. Both men and women achieved record-high winning percentages, dominating in almost every competition this season. Nationally, the teams are ranked 5th and 6th, respectively, in Division III.

Swimmers and divers shattered ten Institute records this year, and are preparing for the NEWMAC Championships this weekend. The women’s team looks to break Springfield’s nine-year winning streak. The men, competing next weekend, are eager to continue their reign as 5-year NEWMAC champions.

This team, lead by Coach Dawn Dill, has been growing stronger; there are several promising freshmen this season. “We are on the cusp of seeing many great performances,” Dill said.
