BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University women's and men's swimming and diving teams head to the three-day Carthage Classic Thursday-Saturday, Dec. 2-4 hosted by Carthage College.

The Titans are joined by 10 other teams including host Carthage, Alma College, Augsburg University, Carroll University, Kalamazoo College, Lake Forest College, Olivet College, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, and St. Norbert College.

Freshman Jade Kaminska (Jablonna, Mazovia, Poland-Maria Konopnicka) of the women's team and sophomore Donald Tichy (Chicago, Ill.-Chicago HS for Agricultural Science) of the men's team were each named the CCIW Co-Swimmer's of the Week, in the men's and women's categories announced Wednesday, Nov. 24. Both Kaminska and Tichy swam career-best times in all their events during the IWU Invite, Nov. 20 to earn the distinctions.

Collectively the men's team placed second during the home invite against WashU and Principia. The women's team also came away with a second-place finish. Senior Ellen Gilbert (Northbrook, Ill.-Glenbrook North) was the only Titan to individually win an event, doing so in the 200 yard freestyle (1:58.35) and the 500 yard free (5:17.44).

The Titans have competed at the Carthage Classic every season since the 2013-14 campaign, excluding the 2020-21 COVID-19 season. This showing will be the eighth time in Titan history to attend the classic.

Per Carthage College policy, no spectators will be allowed to attend the three-day meet. The meet will be livestreamed each day here and results from each day will be posted to iwusports.com.
