Kayla Eichaker: Swimming

This week’s Dean Trailways Female Comet of the Week is freshman Kayla Eichaker, of Portage, and graduate of Portage Central High School. Eichaker won the 100-yard freestyle and placed second in the 200-yard butterfly in a swimming and diving dual meet against Hope College. She touched the wall in the 100 free at 57.07 seconds was more than three seconds faster than the runner-up finisher. Eichaker’s time of 2:23.69 in the 200 fly was a personal-best.
