The Valparaiso University swimming teams finished their regular season slate Sunday against a competitive lineup of teams at the Butler Invite hosted by Butler University in Fishers, Ind. The women went up against the Bulldogs, along with Saint Louis, Southern Illinois, Xavier and Youngstown State, while the men battled Ball State, Saint Louis, Southern Illinois and Xavier.
“This concludes our regular season. We just have a few more weeks before conference to clean up our race strategies, starts, and turns. I’m excited to see what the swimmers can do when we taper off,” said head coach Miriam McGeath.
Leading the way for the Crusaders were senior Vinnie Zaia (Canton, Mich./Salem) and sophomore Erica Martins (Hartland, Wis./Lake Country Lutheran), each collecting a 13th-place finish. Sophomore Dylan Ogle (Simpsonville, S.C./Mauldin) was the top performer on the men’s side, bringing home a sixth-place finish.
