SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Augustana women's swimming & diving team had four student-athletes compete at the Coyote Invitational hosted by South Dakota in the Midco Aquatics Center Friday and Saturday.
 
The Vikings came away with three podium finishes and strong times overall in preparation for the NSIC Championships set for Feb. 9-12.
 
Angelina Chan swam three events, claiming third place in the 100 Fly and the 100 breaststroke while placing fourth in the 100 IM. Her time of 58.77 in the fly is the third fastest for a Viking in 2021-22.
