Freshman
Riley Wadehra finished second to Donahue in both diving events, while fellow freshman
Selma Jukic posted a second (200 freestyle) and a third (100 butterfly), as did junior
Ellen Silk (2
nd in the 100 butterfly and 3
rd in the 200 IM).
"We competed well against a very strong Colorado Mines team," Colorado College head coach
Anne Goodman James said. "Our Division III training season starts later than theirs (Division II), and that often showed at the end of races. It was exciting to see people step up for some big wins for our team. This was a good step as we develop our teams this season."
The Tigers return to action on Friday, Nov. 18 with a dual meet at UC-Santa Cruz.
