MILWAUKEE - Junior Nic Seider, sophomore Amanda Chan, and freshman Josh Baseheart were named team Most Valuable Athletes at the UWM men's and women's swimming and diving annual banquet on Sunday.

Seider, a diver, was the MCC Champion in 3-meter diving at the MCC Championships, and placed fourth in 1-meter diving.

Chan, who swam in the breaststroke events, was named MCC Performer of the Year at the MCC Championships in February. At the meet, she took first in both the 100 and 200 breast, and set a school and MCC record in the 200. She was also a member of three school-record-breaking relays.

As a sprinter, Baseheart was a member of the MCC Champion 400 free relay, and also set two freshman records in the 50 and 100 free, which also set a school record. Overall, Baseheart swam in six events for the men's team at the meet.
