WHEATON, ILL.- The Milwaukee men's swimming & diving team was right back in the pool Saturday, claiming victories in 10 overall events against Wheaton (Ill.) Saturday afternoon. The Panthers put together a strong effort to run up the leaderboard, winning by a score of 149-68.
 
The win moves them to 1-2 on the season.
 
"Saturday was a good end to our fall dual meet season." Said head coach Kyle Clements, "We were able to race some of our 'off' events that we don't get to swim in a standard dual meet, but we will have to swim in a championship format. Getting those reps against another good team does nothing but help us in the future."
 
Milwaukee had an outstanding balanced effort, finishing in the top spot in 10 of the 11 swimming events, with eight different individual winners.
 
The dominance started early claiming the top four spots in the 200 medley relay, winning it with a time of 1:34.08, they then closed the meet winning the 200 freestyle relay (1:25.5).
 
Kicking off the individual events Konnor Pilger grabbed first place in the 1000 freestyle (10:06.7), followed by Gunnar Seversen in 200 freestyle (1:44.83), touching the wall first as well. Next was the 50 freestyle, which was taken by Charlie House reaching the finish in 21.15.
 
In the 400 individual medley, Jay Jensen ran away with it touching the wall in 4:08.14. Victor Kostov was next in the winner's circle, taking the 100 backstroke in 51.92. Caleb Carlisle continued his fantastic weekend, winning the 100 freestyle with a time of 47.35. Closing the winners in the pool was Kevin Soltys in the 100 backstroke reaching the finish in 53.44.
 
Clements finished saying. "The team continues to swim faster and faster even though we were on a back-to-back on the road, which is a good sign going into the house of champions meet that is a three-day meet."
