ST. JOSEPH, Minn. – Each year, athletes and teams at the College of Saint Benedict strive to earn a spot in the school's record books for either team or individual performances. In 2019-20, the department watched as several school records fell.
 
In the fall, the Bennie golf team set the school's 18-hole team scoring record during the second round of the DIII Classic. This winter, first-year diver Emily Quill set a pair of individual records for CSB's swim and dive team.
 
After a solid first round of the DIII Classic – played Sept. 14-15 at Emerald Greens in Hastings – the CSB golf team sat in fifth with a score of 326. Two members of the team shot 79 or better, and two more had scores in the mid-80s after Day 1 of competition. On Day 2, everyone seemed to find their stride.
 
Four of the team's top five golfers shot a 78 or better en route to a school-record score of 305. The previous record was 307, set in 2017 in the second round of the MIAC Championships. Four of the team's five golfers dropped at least three strokes from their first-round total, and Bridget Amundson shaved 11 strokes off her score to help her team earn a spot in the record books.
 
Amundson led the team in the second round with a season-low 75. Senior Liz Schwartz tied her career-low score with a 76, and junior Emily Olson also shot a 76, which marked her season-best. Senior Nikki Frederickson – who shot a season-best 77 in the first round – also cracked 80, finishing with a 78. Sophomore Grace Hillemeier rounded out the top five, and took seven strokes off her first-round score to finish with an 83.
 
Quill finished with a pair of school records and two other times in the top 10 in program history as a first year.

In just the third meet of her collegiate diving career, Quill broke one of Saint Benedict's oldest diving records. Her one-meter, six-dive score of 282.20 at the Macalester dual bested Katie Macy's previous record – a mark that had stood since 1997 – by three points.
 
The first time she competed in the one-meter, 11-dive competition on Jan. 25 at Gustavus, Quill broke teammate Artie Pomerenke's school record set in 2017 by more than 20 points. She broke her own record by more than 15 points a few weeks later at the Carleton Invite with a score of 459.05.
 
That score also guaranteed Quill a spot at the NCAA Central Zone Meet in Granville, Ohio. After finishing fourth on both boards at the 2020 MIAC Championships, Quill finished top 10 in the one- and three-meter competition at zones to do what no Saint Benedict swimmer or diver has been able to do for nearly two decades: qualify for nationals.
 
Quill, who was unable to compete at nationals due to the COVID-19 pandemic, also wrapped up her first season with the Bennies with the third-best three-meter (six-dive) score in program history and the fourth-best three-meter (11-dive) score in CSB history.
