The team consisted of Wyatt Teeter, Kamron VanHulzen, Adam Durech, Colton Berg, Sam Carmichael and the letter winners of David Anderson, Ben Boston, Connor Swim, John Hammes, Ean Beenken, and Jack Miller. The team was coached by Laura Brummel and they had 2 managers that helped the team prepare for the season in Andie Reif, and Marina Llanes. After 2 years of having a swim team Coach Brummel announced the record holders in all of the events as well. David Anderson holds the 50 Free in 25.07, Jack Miller holds the 100 Free in 56.49 the 100 Back in 1:04.44 and the 200 IM in 2:23.46, Connor Swim holds the 200 Free in 2 :12.00 the 100 Breast in 1:23.68 and the 100 Fly in 1:08.54, and John Hammes holds the 500 Free in 6:35.50.

The big award and honor went to Ben Boston who earned the Academic All-Conference Swimmer Award that goes to the outstanding Senior leader for the 2015 swim season. The plan going forward is to have these records posted to give the swimmers coming up through the system something to shoot at as they continue to move the program forward. At the end of the banquet he seniors were introduced and told everyone of their plans for next year. The Seniors will be missed but those remaining are looking forward to the continued building of the team’s successes by the experience that next year’s juniors and sophomore gained during the year and the addition of next year’s freshman coming into the program.
