Mary Muenzenmaier of the Kalamazoo College women's swimming & diving team was named the SAAC Women's Hornet of the Week on Tuesday (Jan. 31).
The women's swimming & diving team competed at Alma (Jan. 28) in their last regular season tune-up before postseason play. The Hornets took the dual against the Scots 206-85, with Kalamazoo winning 14 of the 16 events.
Muenzenmaier had her best day in the first season of her collegiate career, winning the 100 and 200 Breast events. She swam the 100 Breast in 1:11.49, which is less than a second off her career-best time. However, in the 200 Breast, Muenzenmaier touched the wall at 2:37.59, the fastest of her career. She was also a part of the 200 Medley Relay team that placed first with a time of 1:54.95.
The main events that Muenzenmaier swims in are the breaststroke and the individual medley. So far in her first season, she has the best times on the team in the 50 Breast (33.13), 100 Breast (1:10.37), and 200 Breast (2:37.59). She also has a season-best time in the 200 IM of 2:26.46.
The Hornets will now turn their attention to the MIAA Championships, which Calvin will host on Feb. 15-18.
