1998-99 Review

The Blazers swimming and diving season came to an end with a strong third place finish in the MIAC and two swimmers advancing onto NCAA Division III National Championships.  Sophomores Gretchen Weber and Noelle Peterson propelled CSB to a 33rd place finish in the country.

Weber finished in eighth place in the 200 backstroke and 10th place in the 200 freestyle at the national meet.  Peterson was 24ht in the 200 backstroke and 28th in the 100 backstroke.

At the MIAC Swimming and Diving Championships, the Blazers, the defending conference champions, left their mark.  The Blazers were led by Weber who was the conference champion in the 200 freestyle and 200 backstroke.   She also posted a second place finish in the 500 freestyle.  Peterson was the conference champ in the 100 backstroke, and came in second place in the 200 backstroke and was a member of the third place 200 individual medley relay team.  The Blazers recorded a poor record in the 200 medley relay.  Weber also set new school pool marks in the 200 freestyle and the 200 backstroke.   Saint Ben's had seven individual conference champions.
