Waugh sets records in win

Erika Waugh led the Knights to a conference title. And she did it in record-breaking fashion.
Waugh broke Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Calvin College records in leading the Knights to a 783-point effort and the MIAA title at the meet hosted by Hope.
Calvin fell behind the host Flying Dutchmen in the meet that ran from Feb. 11 through Saturday, but Waugh helped reclaim the lead with her win the 200-yard backstroke with teammates Megan Schroder fourth and Betsy Otten eighth. Her time of 2 minutes, 2.62 seconds, broke the MIAA record of 2:03.49 she set last season, and the Knights never trailed again.
The senior was also the runner-up in the 100 backstroke in 58.2, and placed third in the 200 individual medley in 2:09.35.
She was part of three top-three relay efforts for Calvin, including a win in the 800-yard freestyle event. She joined Abby VanHarn, Megan Schroder and Ana Estrella in posting a time of 7:40.06.
The relay time and Waugh’s time in the 200 backstroke both surpassed the NCAA Division III National B cut time.
