Wheaton vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, November 1. JUNIOR Jeremy Waldhart won three events to lead the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s swimming team to a convincing victory over Wheaton College Saturday afternoon at the Klotsche Natatorium. The Panthers dominated the meet against the Thunder, winning 10 of 11 events in improving to 18-1 in the all-time series with the 123-74 victory.

In addition to Waldhart, several freshmen made key contributions on the day. The list of newcomers to claim victories today included Kyle Trelka, Evan Green, Jordan Diel, and Brady Huemann. In addition, sophomore Dan Heraly and both relay teams also topped the competition.

“Jeremy Waldhart was great again and really had an outstanding weekend,” UWM heads coach Erica Janssen said. “Jordan (Diel) came in with an outstanding resume and now he is starting to step up already. Brady Huemann is also doing an outstanding job and is very versatile for us. Our freshmen are already filling holes that we were hoping they would and did a great job today.”

The Panthers almost had the sweep, with Wheaton’s Ethan Cramer wining the 500 freestyle to give his team its lone individual title.

“We had the opportunity for everyone to swim off-events, so it’s good to see everybody do something different and have success in their events,” Janssen said. “It gives people a chance to swim events they don’t normally participate in or possibly find something different for a third event.”

Waldhart made it three-for-three on the day, winning the 1000 free in 10:12.22, the 400 IM in 4:15.24 and the 200 breaststroke in 1:16.11. He won five times between Friday night and Saturday.

Heraly was at it again, winning for the third time this weekend when he topped the field in the 200 free in a time of 1:46.41.

Trelka led the way in the 50 free in a time of 21.82. He led a UWM contingent in the event, with Diel second in 22.83, freshman Sam Keele third in 22.99 and fellow freshman Sky Boggio fourth in a time of 23.02.

Green won the 200 butterfly in 2:00.32, Diel in the 100 free in 49.54 and Huemann the 200 backstroke in 2:01.33. Keele actually came in with the best time in the 200 breast in 2:15.26, but was exhibitioning the event.

Milwaukee continues its current homestand next Saturday, as it welcomes UIC and North Dakota back to the Klotsche Natatorium for a meet set for a 1 p.m. start.
