Wolf Pack swims in Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – With the Sun Conference Championships only a couple of weeks away, the Loyola Wolf Pack men's and women's swim teams traveled to Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday to compete in their final regular-season meet. In a tri-meet against Birmingham Southern and Milligan, both Wolf Pack teams took losses to their counterparts. 

Mya Baker led the Wolf Pack women's team with a second-place performance in the 1,000-yard freestyle. Her time of 11:12.55 was a season-best time as well. Abbigail Chemacki competed in the same race finishing fifth, but her 11:23.06 was a season-best, too. 

Brooke Alexander was one of five Loyola swimmers to take third place on the day, swimming a time of 58.32 in the 100-yard freestyle. Olivia Courville took eighth in the same race, but her 1:09.23 was a personal best. Catherine Streeter's time of 25.48 was good enough for the freshman to take third, and it was a little more than a second away from the school record, too. Eve Thomas (100-yard backstroke, 1:02.92), Emily Cooper (200-yard backstroke, 2:16.06), and Kailee Robaina (100-yard butterfly, 1:02.99) all also took third place during the meet. 

Benjamin Chehebar highlighted the day on the men's side with two second-place finishes in the 200-yard freestyle (1:47.33) and the 500-yard freestyle (4:55.52). Tate Bladon placed second, too, swimming a 21.68 in the 50-yard freestyle. It was the only race he competed in on Saturday, and his time was a little more than a minute from his own school record in the event. 

Dylan Chehebar and Jack McNamara each added third-place finishes to help Loyola's scoring. Chehebar swam a 2:02.11 in the 200-yard butterfly and McNamara recorded a 48.64 in the 100-yard freestyle. 

The Sun Conference Championships are set for Feb. 8-10 in Columbus, Georgia.
