Dan Gable, an Olympic gold medal wrestler, once said something along the lines of, “When one person thinks they’re going to lose, then they’re going to lose.

Swim teams steady on

The contests on Friday were held at Bergsma Natatorium and despite the advantage of swimming in their home pool, both of Calvin’s teams were narrowly defeated by Grand Valley. The men were beaten by a score of 120-115 and the women lost 131-112, despite some fine individual performances by several Calvin swimmers which resulted in six individual first place finishes for both the men and the women.
