Six members of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams were named to the 2005-06 Winter Academic All-Horizon League Team. The Horizon League recognized the academ- ic achievements of its members in April, as a total of 79 student-athletes from six sports were honored in ballot- ing by the league’s faculty athletics representatives and sports information directors. Wright State led the way with 12 members on the various teams, followed by Detroit (11) and then both UIC and UWM with 10 overall.

For the men, Tim Watt led the way, earning the academic honor for the third-straight season - one of just two athletes on the 17-member squad to pull off the feat. The team captain from last season carries a 3.42 GPA in Civil Engineering.

Joining Watt was Jeff Jasinowski, Karl Winderl and Paul Lewis, all fi rst-time honorees. Jasinowsi was a team captain and UWM’s top-fi nisher in the diving events at the Horizon League Championships, placing seventh on the one-meter and fourth on the three-meter boards. He dove at NCAA Zone ‘C’ Regionals for second-straight season and placed fi rst or second 19 times on the year. He is a journalism/mass communications major with a 3.311 GPA.

Winderl, an accounting major in school, had the highest GPA on the squad at 3.933. He placed 12th in the 1000 freestyle and 1650 freestyle at Horizon League Championships, setting career-best times in 500 and 1650 freestyles at the event.

Lewis improved all season-long as a sophomore, setting career-best times in the 200, 1000 and 1650 freestyles at the Horizon League Cham- pionships. He carries a 3.643 GPA as a journalism major.

On the women’s side, Lindsay Caldwell added to her season accolades by earning a spot on the all-league team for the second-straight season. She was named Swimmer of the Meet and Swimming/Diving Athlete of the Year at Horizon League Championships after claiming league titles in the 50 and 100 freestyles and a second in 100 breaststroke. She won 30 of 35 races on the season, including a nearly four-month span where she didn’t lose, winning 26-straight. She was named Horizon League Swimmer of the Week twice and was featured in the Jan. 30 issue of Sports Illustrated in its “Faces in the Crowd”. She is a journalism/mass communications major with a 3.537 GPA.

Joining Caldwell on the prestigious list was Emma McKeith. After returning from injury that kept her out of the pool for over half of the season, McKeith placed fi fth in the 1650 freestyle and eighth in the 500 freestyle at the Horizon League Championships. She is an education major with a 3.933 GPA.

2006-07 UW-Milwaukee Swimming & Diving Media Guide 41 League Championship

2006 Horizon League Championships

The Panthers wrapped up the season at the Horizon League Championships with a record-breaking performance. The two teams combined on 19 school and three Horizon League records, with the women placing third and the men taking fi fth at the season-ending event.

The women set 10 school marks, three freshman records and three league records in fi nishing in third place, just 41 points out of fi rst.

Junior Lindsay Caldwell broke the Horizon League record in the 100 freestyle and was part of four record-breaking relay teams. Freshman Molly Finn established new school and freshman marks in three individual events, while also taking part in two of the relays. Sophomore Jess Kelly played a key role, anchoring all four record-setting relays.

Caldwell’s time of 50.69 leading off the 400 freestyle relay bet- tered her Horizon League record of 50.94 which she won the 100 free individual race with earlier in the night. That time improved on the league record of 51.08 she established a season ago.

The 400 free and medley relay teams not only set school records, but established new league-bests. In the 400 free, Caldwell, junior Heather Sawatzki, sophomore Heidi Goetsch and Kelly touched the wall in 3:28.93, breaking the school mark of 3:30.41, set in 2005, and the league mark of 3:30.11, set by Wright State in 2004.

The 400 medley team of senior Julie Olson, Caldwell, Finn and Kelly won in a time of 3:51.09, bettering the school mark of 3:51.93, set in 2005, and the league record of 3:51.26, established by Wright State in 2004.

The 200 and 800 freestyle relay teams both improved on school records, with Caldwell, sophomore Kristin Skiba, Goetsch and Kelly fi nishing in 1:35.99 in the 200 (old record was 1:36.36 set last year) and the lineup of Caldwell, Finn, Skiba and Kelly touching the wall in 7:42.00 in the 800 to break the old mark set in 2001 by nearly a second (7:42.99).

Finn capped an amazing freshman season with Horizon League titles in the 400 IM and the 200 butter- fl y, while fi nishing second in the 200 IM. She lowered school and freshman marks she broke earlier this season in all three events with times of 2:07.30 in the 200 IM (2:07.43), 4:28.32 in the 400 IM (4:33.41) and 2:05.01 in the 200 butterfl y (2:05.77).

Senior Erin Blemberg broke the school record in the three-meter diving, scoring 348.80 points to win the event en route to Horizon League Diver of the Meet honors for the second-consecutive season. She broke her own record in the event of 315.68 points, set Nov. 13 of this season.

Lastly, Olson topped her own school record in the 200 backstroke, lowering the standard from 2:04.71 to 2:04.28.

For the men, two swimmers broke three records each. Sophomore Chase Gravengood won the fi rst three league titles of his UWM career in his three individual events, setting school marks in each. Fresh- man Robby Leibold established new freshman standards in all three of his distance events, setting new marks in the 500, 1000 and 1650 freestyle.

Gravengood earned Horizon League titles in the 200 IM, the 100 butterfl y and the 200 butterfl y. In the 200 IM, he won in a time of 1:51.70, breaking the school record of 1:53.32 that he set last year. In the 100 fl y, his time of 49.18 eclipsed the time of 49.41 set by Andrew Babcock in 2000. And, in the 200 fl y, his time of 1:49.17 broke Mike Burmeister’s time of 1:51.37, set in the 1995 season.

Leibold reset the freshman record at 4:35.32 in the 500 free (from 4:37.10), 9:30.92 in the 1000 (9:41.07) and 15:54.18 in the mile (16:05.47). Leibold had already broken the records in the 1000 and 1650 earlier in the season, erasing all three entries held by David Faust from the UWM record book.
