Women's Swim & Dive Wins Fourth Straight Don Kimble Invitational

Wayne State stood atop the podium for 10 of the 20 events.

KENTWOOD, Mich. -- The Wayne State University women's swimming and diving team claimed its fourth straight first-place finish at Davenport's Don Kimble Invitational on Sunday night.  The Warriors won 10 of the 20 events they competed in to help rack up a point total of 1,028 among the seven-team field.

"It was a wonderful weekend for the Warriors," said head coach Sean Peters.  "There were so many great performances with our swims and on the boards.  It was a full team effort and we really gave it our all, and the results show.  I have to also give credit to all the other schools participating, as they really brought it, and helped bring out the best in us.  I know with a strong December and January, we can really have a great February and March, and I look forward to this journey with our Warriors!"
