GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Jake Huttenlocher was a busy man in the season's first swimming & diving meet Friday night.
Huttenlocher, who represented Albion College as the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association champion in the 200-yard individual medley last season, started the new season by helping two relays finish first and another finish second as MIAA teams gathered at Calvin University for a relay meet.
Huttenlocher was the leadoff swimmer as he joined Tyler Kimbrell, Connor Robertson and Mac Robertson for first place in the 200 breaststroke (1:49.239).
Huttenlocher swam the anchor leg as Ian Moran, Connor Robertson and Declan Tharp took first place in the 400 medley relay (3:42.98).
Albion finished as the runner-up in the mixed 200 medley relay. The team of Rileigh Eding, Huttenlocher, Evan Wonner and Hannah Erickson achieved a time of 1:42.05.
Albion's first dual meet of the season is Saturday at Alma College.
