The Hillsdale College women's swimming and diving team had a solid Senior Day performance against tough competition this weekend, winning five events and splitting a double-dual with a win over Davenport, 166-96, and a loss to nationally-ranked Findlay 164-98.

Freshman Cali Kissel led the way with two first place finishes, including a victory in the 200 backstroke in 2:07.91, the seventh-fastest time ever recorded by a Hillsdale swimmer in the event in just her second meet with the Chargers. Kissel also won the 50 backstroke in 27.46, and was part of a third-place 400 medley relay that finished in 4:01.93 with Ella Schafer, Ella Malone and Kate Potwardowski also taking part.

Junior Matilyn Wilhelmsen also placed in three events for the Chargers. She won the 100 freestyle in 53.34, a new personal best, and also set a new personal best in the 50 freestyle of 24.81 with a third place finish. Wilhelmsen also took second in the 500 freestyle in 5:13.09.

Kate Potwardowski won the 50 breaststroke for the Chargers in 30.29 to go with her relay performance, and also posted a season best to finish runner-up in the 200 individual medley in 2:15.27.  Junior Ella Schafer was Hillsdale's last individual winner, taking the 200 freestyle in 1:58.22 to go with her relay performance.

Avery May took runner-up in the 1,000 freestyle in 10:49.70, Ella Malone took runner-up in the 50 fly in 26.75, and senior Inez McNichols finished third in the 200 butterfly (2:17.59) as well.

Hillsdale honored its six graduating seniors before the start of the meet, thanking them for their four years of commitment to the program and honoring their successes while swimming for the Chargers. Hillsdale's seniors include McNichols, Irene del Castro, Alyson Early, Lauren Kamp, Olivia Leathers and Isabel Ondracek.

The Chargers will be back in action next Saturday, traveling to Elkhart, Indiana to swim in the Bethel Invitational at 1 p.m. in the Elkhart Aquatic Center.
