Pacific Lutheran and Whitman split a Northwest Conference swim dual Saturday, the Lute men winning 125-77 and the Missionary women coming out on top 109-96.

Sophomore Andy Stetzler led the charge for the men’s squad by winning both the 200 freestyle in a season best time of 1:48.96 followed by a win in the 100 freestyle (50.18). Stetzler was also part of the winning 400 yard medley relay (3:50.37). Other individual event winners included freshman Luke Weinbrecht in the 50 yard freestyle (23.12), freshman Ben Lilley in the 500 yard freestyle (5:09.17), and senior Jason Hesla in the 200 yard breaststroke (2:21.27).

Once again it was freshman Jessie Donovan who had the most outstanding performance of the day. The highlight of her three individual victories was the 200 backstroke. Her time of 2:11.05 is a season best. Donovan also won the 200 freestyle (2:05.21) and the 200 individual medley (2:18.91). Freshman Mica Bailey was another multi event winner after she won the 50 yard freestyle (26.20) and the 100 freestyle (56.48). Bailey was also part of the winning 400 yard freestyle relay (3:57.71).

The Lute men moved up to 5-2 while the women’s squad dropped to 3-4. Pacific Lutheran is back in action next Saturday when the Lutes travel to Idaho to take on Albertson College in a non-conference match up.
