ST. PAUL, Minn. –
Mallory Jarvi and
Mikayla Von Wahlde both picked up individual wins for the College of Saint Benedict swim and dive team Saturday afternoon to help CSB finish fourth and the Minnesota teams beat the Wisconsin teams at the Minnesota/Wisconsin Border Battle, hosted by St. Thomas.
Jarvi finished first in the three-meter diving competition with a score of 225.95, and she also took second on the one-meter board with a mark of 205.90.
Von Wahlde – a first year – continued to impress in the beginnings of her collegiate swimming career. After setting the school record in the 100 IM in the first meet of her CSB career, she recorded the third-best 100 and 200 backstroke times in school history Saturday, and won both events. She won the 100 backstroke in 59.32 seconds and the 200 backstroke in 2:09.39.
"The team had an amazing meet today," head coach
Dan Eckberg said. "We had some tough goals both individually and as a team, and the team stepped up and crushed those goals. We have a few individuals who weren't able to compete due to injury, and they did a great job supporting and cheering so it was a very successful day as a team."
