COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Kate Chambon’s first college meet earned her a conference award, as the Colorado College freshman was chosen as the top women’s swimmer in the SCAC for the past week.
Chambon, who is from Grenoble, France, took the 100-yard backstroke in 59.52 against Asbury University at Schlessman Natatorium. The time ranks among the five fastest in the history of the program.
