The Lake Forest College men's and women's swimming and diving teams finished first at Lawrence University's Gene Davis Invitational on Saturday.

The Foresters earned victories in 20 of the meet's 38 events, including four relays, and four members of the team were 3-for-3 in their individual races.

The meet began with a Lake Forest sweep of the 400-medley relay. The victory on the women's side was by 19 seconds with freshmen Joss Hoffman and Isabella Rozenbergas, junior Amelie Andres, and sophomore Audrey Kilmer posting a time of 4:07.32. Senior Noah McAdam, junior Andrew Lee and Demetri Zemenides, and sophomore Cameron Schlosser finished the men's race in 3:38.36 and edged out runner-up Milwaukee School of Engineering by a little more than two seconds.

Rozenbergas added three more victories on the day, touching the wall first in the 200-IM (2:11.45), 100-butterfly (59.47), and 200-butterfly (2:12.40). Kilmer went on to win the 50-freestyle in 25.55 seconds, 400-IM in 4:41.87, and 200-backstroke in 2:12.09. Andres turned in triumphs in both breaststroke events (1:12.47 in the 100 and 2:38.81 in the 200) before finishing first in the 1650-freestyle by 23 seconds with a time of 18:50.67.

Freshman Matthew Strada matched that trio with three victories of his own. He out-swam the competition in the 200-IM (2:01.76), 400-IM (4:19.70), and the 1650-freestyle (16:45.12).

McAdam was the top performer in both men's backstroke events, posting a narrow victory in the 100 with a time of 54.02 seconds and coming out on top in more convincing fashion in the 200 in 2:02.51.

Additional wins were recorded by junior Valeria Welk in the women's 200-freestyle (2:04.48) and Andrew Lee in the men's 200-breaststroke (2:18.35).

In addition, the Forester men registered back-to-back relay wins in the middle of the meet. Junior Alexander Wilson, sophomore Benjamin Scott, and freshmen Thomas Marstin and Evan Escobar took the 200-freestyle relay in 1:31.72 and Escobar was joined by Schlosser, senior Tucker Potts and sophomore Clayton Berg on the victorious 200-medley relay team.

Lake Forest finished with 730 points on the women's side, 64 more than second place University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. The Forester men, who also won this meet a year ago, tallied 756 points, 125 more than runner-up Milwaukee School of Engineering.

The Foresters will travel to Carroll University next Saturday for a dual meet beginning at 1:00 p.m.
