Slagel, a junior, figured into eight Norse first-place finishes en route to swimmer-of-the-meet honors at the Liberal Arts Championships. She won the 500 freestyle (4:57.67), 100 backstroke (55.02) and 200 backstroke (2:00.28) and swam on Luther's winning 200 freestyle (1:38.62), 400 medley (3:55.14), 200 medley (1:46.50), 800 freestyle (7:47.10) and 400 freestyle (3:34.90) relays. Her time in the 100 backstroke leads NCAA Division III, while her 200 backstroke ranks second and her time in the 500 free was a new school and Liberal Arts Championships record and bettered the NCAA B-Cut qualifying mark. Luther's time in the 200 medley relay was also better than the NCAA B-Cut standard. (IIAC Female Athlete of the Week)
