ANDERSON, Ind. - The Bluffton University women's swimming team made a detour that cut over three hours off its travel time on Saturday, Nov. 13, when their meet scheduled for Hanover was pushed north to Anderson University.

Senior Brooke Kleman (Glandorf/Ottawa-Glandorf) powered a Bluffton team that was just 10 points away from a second-place finish. She took first in the 100-yard breaststroke with a school-record time of 1:14.46 and she followed that up with victory in the 100-yard IM, also etching her name in the record book with a time of 1:06.85!

The 200-yard medley relay, consisting of Kleman, MacKenzie Martin (Hartville/Lake), Stacey Chirewa (Harare, Zimbabwe) and Isabel Miller (Dayton/Centerville) took 3rd in 2:25.31, while the 200-yard freestyle relay of Chirewa, Grace Branson (Carlisle), Flor Avilez (Santa Lucia, Honduras/Dowal School) and Alejandra Valenzuela (Lima, Honduras/Santa Maria del Valle) came in 4th with a time of 2:32.79.

The women will continue to train throughout the holiday season before returning to action at Manchester University on Saturday, Jan. 15, at 1 p.m.
