In her last meet of December, junior Lisa Tixier came away with three first place finishes for the Biola team that saw 31 new national qualifiers and two new school records fall at the La Verne Winter Invite. Tixier, holder of four school records herself, claimed victory in the women’s 200-yard individual medley on Dec. 2 and the 100-yard butterfly event on Dec. 3. In addition to her event wins on Friday and Saturday, Tixier grabbed the top spot in the 100-yard freestyle by almost a full second over the second-place finisher on Dec. 4. In the event, Tixier paced the field consisting of stiff competition from schools such as Azusa Pacific University and California State East Bay. The junior from Benton City, Wash. furthered her spectacular season as the anchor of a strong swim and dive roster with the event wins. Tixier earned the title of NAIA Swimmer of the Week thanks to her dominating performances on Dec. 2-4, making her the deserving recipient of this week’s Chimes’ Athlete of the Week.

About the Contributor
Kyle Kohner, Copy Editor & Office Manager
Amid his final year with the Chimes, Kyle is a four-year vet of the publication. Before this year, Kyle began his tenure like most at the Chimes—as a freelancer and an apprentice. He’s also held positions as the online editor and the A&E staff writer in the past. He also demands that you all go watch the movie “Hereditary.” Hello there! My name is Kyle Kohner, born and raised in San Bernardino, California. I am a senior journalism student at Biola University and a self-proclaimed film buff and music addict. A movie and music critic by trade, I am a firm believer that watching film and listening to music go hand-in-hand. Because the two mediums make the world go round and humanity sane, I see it is as my job and passion to discern the good from the bad within the differing yet kindred realms of entertainment. Aside from passion for the arts, it is probably worth noting that I am the Chimes’ office manager and copy editor. I, alongside Victoria try to make sure that the content produced by this publication are without flaws. If you see an article containing the wrong usage of “they’re” or “Its,” it’s probably my fault. Outside of the Chimes, I can be seen—you guessed it—listening to music and watching movies. But I also have a deep passion for street photography.
