Wheaton, Ill. -- Following her latest batch of standout performances last weekend, Wheaton senior Tess Boyer has been named the CCIW Women's Swimmer of the Week for the second time this season. Boyer is the first conference swimmer to garner the accolade twice in 2026-27, and today's announcement by the conference office marks the 13th weekly nod of her medal-laden career.

Boyer maintained her perfect record in individual races so far this year with two event wins in the Thunder's meet against Division I opponent UW-Milwaukee last Friday. The two-time reigning CCIW Women's Swimming Student-Athlete of the Year captured first place in the women's 400-yard IM and 100-yard breaststroke competitions with conference-leading times in both events. Boyer swam an impressive 4:25.25 line in the 400 IM, a mark which currently ranks second in all of Division III this season and was the fastest in the country as of Friday night. Her winning time of 1:05.81 in the breaststroke was a career-best and is currently good for 25th in the nation in 2026-27.

In addition to her headline individual swims, Boyer also contributed in the relay category last weekend, posting a personal-best split time in the 50-yard backstroke lead-off leg of the 200-yard medley relay. Her 27.55 mark in that event is the fastest in the conference this season.

After opening their home meet schedule against high-level opposition, Boyer and her teammates will take on conference rivals for the first time this year on Saturday. Wheaton travels to Carthage College for a 12 PM dual this weekend.
