Wheaton, Ill. -- For the second time this season, the Wheaton women's swimming & diving program has swept the conference's weekly accolades, as
Tess Boyer and
Lara Stamp were named the CCIW Women's Swimming and Diving Student-Athletes of the Week on Tuesday. Boyer's swimming recognition is her second-consecutive award, third of the season, and tenth of her career, while Stamp picks up her fifth weekly honor and her first of this season.
The junior swimmer and sophomore diver were two of the top performers at last weekend's Wheaton Invite. Boyer enjoyed a hugely successful couple of days in the pool, as she set two program, conference, and meet records while posting NCAA qualifying marks in multiple events. The Kansas native won both the women's 200-yard individual medley and 400-yard IM titles in record-setting fashion. Her time of 2:03.72 in the former established new CCIW, school, pool, and meet records and currently ranks as the ninth-fastest time in all of Division III women's swimming this season. Meanwhile, her 400 IM showing of 4:23.23 broke her own existing conference record that she set at last season's NCAA DIII Championships, established a new meet record, and earned an NCAA provisional qualifying time that currently ranks third-best in the country.
The All-American also won the women's 200-yard butterfly event on Friday with a finals time of 2:07.28 after tallying a conference-best mark of 2:06.29 in the prelim. In addition to her headline solo swims, Boyer contributed to three of Wheaton's victorious relay races, logging times of 1:38.14 in the 200-yard freestyle, 3:58.62 in the 400-yard medley, and 3:34.39 in the 400-yard freestyle.
Stamp earned the highest scores in both women's diving events in her first appearance of 2025-26 last weekend. The Indiana native posted a lifetime-best mark of 341.10 on the 3-meter board that leads the CCIW this season. She then tallied a score of 313.90 in the 1-meter competition that also tops the conference.
After a noteworthy final outing of the calendar year, Boyer, Stamp, and their Thunder teammates will return to competition in January when Wheaton heads to Kalamazoo College for the Illinois-Michigan quad meet.
