INDIANAPOLIS, IN- Wheaton College freshman Laura Montes (San Juan, PR/Academia San Jose) finished 18th in the overall solo competition on Friday at the United States Synchronized Swimming National Championship in the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Natatorium. She was the first Lyon to compete at the event since 2005.

Montes placed 17th during the solo routines, totaling a score of 83.833 points to finish second among regional collegians. Her closest competition was an 18th-place Keuka College swimmer, who finished 0.666 points behind Montes.
