The Lake Forest College swimming and diving team competed in its final meet of the fall semester this weekend, placing third in the men's and women's team standings at the Carthage Classic.

Forester swimmers won 10 events, including three by freshman Audrey Kilmer. Kilmer touched the wall first in the 200-IM and 200-backstroke on Friday and the 400-IM on Saturday,. She also competed on four of Lake Forest relays, including the 400-freestyle which closed out the meet with a victory. Joining Kilmer on the 400-freestyle relay, which won by more than four seconds in 3:36.23, were freshman Izabella Harju, junior Sylvie Paddon-Jones, and sophomore Valeria Welk; Kilmer's lead-off leg (53.10) put her fourth on the team's all-time list and is just .3 seconds shy of the school record.

Kilmer is now the second-fastest 400-IM swimmer in program history with a time of 4:29.74, which is less than a tenth of a second off an NCAA B-Cut qualifying mark. 

Junior Noah McAdam and sophomore Amelie Andres each won a pair of individual events. McAdam swept the backstroke events, finishing Friday's 200 in 1:52.79 and Saturday's 100 in 52.08 seconds. Andres was victorious twice on Friday, moving up a spot to third in team history in the 200-breaststroke with a time of 2:24.05 and edging out Lake Forest senior Ally McCarthy to take the 500-freestyle. 

McCarthy was part of a Forester sweep in Thursday night's 1650-freestyle. Freshman Gavin Biccum started it with a time of 16:23.44 in the men's race and McCarthy won the women's event by 10 seconds, finishing in 18:05.40. Biccum's second collegiate 1650 placed him fifth in program history and his 1000 split ranks fourth.

The Foresters' other individual event title came in Saturday's 200-butterfly, where junior Ben Jacob's 1:57.88 was more than three-and-a-half seconds faster than the runner-up's clocking.

In addition to the 500-freestyle, McCarthy was also the runner-up in the 200-freestyle. Three more second-place finishes were turned in by senior Ella Burns in the 400-IM, Andres in the 100-breaststroke, and senior Harriett Townsend in 3-meter diving. Also, Lake Forest was second in both 200-freestyle relays as well as the men's 400-freestyle relay.

Carthage won the men's competition while St. Norbert College was second and those schools swapped spots in the women's team standings. Both Forester squads placed third, just ahead of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in the eight-team meet.

Lake Forest will be in action next at the Illinois-Michigan Quadrangular at Wheaton College on January 13.
