WENDY ILLING NAMED MOST VALUABLE PERFORMER AS VIKINGS GO 4-1 IN DUAL MEETS
The Augustana Vikings finished the 2000-01 women's swimming & diving season with a 4-1 overall record in dual meets and placed sixth in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin championship. First year head coach Paul Eure's team won the DuPage Invitational on January 13 and placed fourth in three different invitationals throughout the year: Illinois Wesleyan Invitational, Augustana Invitational and North Central Invitational.
Sophomore Wendy Illing
(Carmel HS, Mundelein, IL) was a stalwart for the Vikings, leading the team in four individual events and swimming on the top relay in four events. She recorded the best times in the 100 breaststroke (1:18.00), 200 breaststroke (2:45.68), 200 individual medley (2:25.24) and 400 individual medley (5:07.25). It should come as no surprise then, to learn that she was selected as Augustana's Most Valuable Performer for the 2000-01 season.
Kelly Kuehl
(Davenport West HS, Davenport, IA) and Julie Cassata
(Plainfield HS, Plainfield, IL) shared the Most Improved Performer award. Kristen Will
(Carl Sandburg HS, Orland Park, IL) was named the Hardest Worker and Sara Cowger

Harris ended her fine career as the best sprinter on the team this past year. She had the best times in the 50 freestyle (:26.34) and the 100 freestyle (:58.47) as well as swimming on all five number one relay teams. Will finished the year with the team's top times in two events: 1000 freestyle (12:05.68) and 1650 freestyle (19:56.83). Lisa Goergen
(Eden Prairie HS, Eden Prairie, MN) had the fastest times in the 100 backstroke (1:07.89) and 200 backstroke (2:29.92) while Shannon Everett
