Five members of the Kalamazoo College women's swimming and diving team were recognized with All-MIAA honors on Friday.

Lauren Seroka, Tristyn Edsall, Madeline Woods and Christina Park join Colleen Orwin as All-MIAA honorees after Orwin was named the league's Most Valuable Swimmer at the conclusion of last week's MIAA Championships.

Orwin, a junior from Portage, Mich. (Portage Northern HS), earned her third All-MIAA honor and league Most Valuable Swimmer status after winning three individual events and one championship relay at last week's championship meet.

She broke school and MIAA records while winning the 200 IM with the 10th fastest time in the country (2:04.08). She also broke school and MIAA records while winning the 400 IM with the fourth fastest time in the country (4:22.79).

Orwin won the 200 butterfly (2:03.94) while also breaking school and MIAA records in prelims with the seventh fastest time in the country (2:03.73). She swam the butterfly leg of the championship 200 medley relay team that broke a school record and is currently eighth in the country (1:44.03).

In addition, Orwin broke the school record in the 200 freestyle (1:54.35) earlier in the season, and her 100 butterfly time trial swim currently ranks ninth in the country.

Seroka (Sr. - Canton, Mich./Plymouth-Salem HS) was named to the All-MIAA Team for the fourth time after winning her fourth consecutive conference championship in both the 500 freestyle and the 1650 freestyle.

She finished second in the 3-meter and third in the 1-meter at the conference championships while also being named MIAA Diver of the Week on Jan. 25.
