Milwaukee, Wis. — Six days after beginning their 2025-26 seasons in Chicago, the Thunder swimming teams traveled north to another major Midwestern city to face the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the two programs’ annual dual meet. The Division I Panthers won both the men’s and women’s meets by decisive margins on Friday night, but the competition provided valuable experience ahead of Wheaton’s home-opening event next weekend. This evening’s program saw multiple impressive performances from the Thunder squads, none more so than junior Tess Boyer’s showing in the women’s 400-yard IM race.
The 400 IM was the fifth competition on the schedule order in Friday’s women’s meet, and Boyer, the CCIW record-holder and a Second Team All-American in the event, once again showed her quality in the race, posting a time of 4:30.89 to finish in first place ahead of the Milwaukee runner-up by a 20-second margin. This mark is currently the second-fastest in the event in all of Division III women’s swimming this season, as Boyer’s time sits just .59 second behind a swimmer from Kenyon College in the national rankings.
The reigning CCIW Women’s Swimming Student-Athlete of the Week also secured a pair of second-place showings this evening, logging a time of 54.27 in the 100-yard freestyle and swimming a 25.40 split on the lead-off leg of the women’s 200-yard freestyle relay. Boyer was joined by Aubrey Swanson, Rebecca Darter, and Savannah Jeffery, with Swanson clocking the fastest split of the quartet on a 24.71 time to go towards the group’s combined mark of 1:41.28, less than three seconds slower than the Panthers’ A team.
Allison Henschel registered a time of 11:00.13 in her 1000-yard freestyle swim to edge out her competing Milwaukee swimmer by 1.20 seconds. Swanson then came in second in the women’s 200 free via a time of 2:05.06, touching the wall one second ahead of Kate Zurowski.
