WHITEWATER – The UW-Eau Claire men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams came into today’s UW-Whitewater Invite with the exact same records but that changed as the women won 133-107 while the men lost 135-108.

The women are now 2-2 in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) dual meets, 3-3 in all dual meets, and 11-5 overall. The men drop to 1-3 in conference dual action, 2-4 in all duals, and 10-6 overall.

The biggest performers of the day were multiple winners Amy Stewart (Fr.-South Milwaukee) and Amanda Kroger (Jr.-Shoreview, MN/Mounds View). Both won first place in two events.

Meanwhile, Kroger finished 11:22.07 in the 1000 freestyle and 5:36.85 in the 500 freestyle as she notched two top spots.

In the relays, Jess Bartz (Jr.-Mauston), Emily Diehl (Jr.-Prairie du Sac/Sauk Prairie), Stewart, and Ann Grossklaus (Fr.-Wausau/West) swam a 4:19.30 400 medley relay for first.
