MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee women's swimming & diving program collected their fifth straight victory of the season, winning 125-72 over Wheaton College. The victory also marks the Panthers' thirteenth straight victory over Wheaton and keeps them undefeated against the Thunder.
 
With the absence of the two dives, only 11 events took place on the day. Milwaukee dominated the Thunder, winning ten of the eleven, including both relays. Milwaukee even took the top four spots in the 200 yard medley relay, led by the squad of Skylar Ruggles, Bella Sponseller, Brielle Laube, and Grace Brehm.
 
"As we round out our fall semester of dual meets, we end on a good note" head coach Kyle Clements remarked. "We really progressed and grew from the beginning of the year to now, and now we'll turn our focus to our mid-season championship. The next time we race we will be a lot fresher and faster."
 
Grace Hudson collected two individual victories on the day, winning both the 200 and 500 yard freestyles. Her time of 5:19.26 in the 500 was more than 25 seconds ahead of the runner up from Wheaton.
 
Antoni Haupt swam away with the crown in the 1000 yard freestyle, winning by nearly ten seconds with a time of 10:51.47. Janelle Schulz also recorded a significant margin of victory, winning the 50 yard freestyle by a full second.
 
Noelle Bryan continued the trend for the Panthers, touching the wall 2.54 seconds ahead of her competitors in the 100 yard freestyle, and Nhia Caras took the 100 yard butterfly crown with a time of 1:00.21.
 
Winning the 100 yard backstroke by nearly five seconds was Mara Freeman, followed up by Ava Schlageter grabbing a win in the 100 yard breaststroke. Milwaukee's 200 yard freestyle relay team, consisting of Bryan, Schulz, Grace Mayes, and Kylee Radigan, finished the afternoon with a first-place time of 1:39.71.
