Tunney made a splash early in her collegiate career for the Chargers as they took on Grand Valley State and Calvin College over the past week.
 
The true freshman finished runner-up in three different events, all while approaching the NCAA B qualifying standard in them.
 
Tunney was second in the 200 IM with a time of 2:13.53, second in the 100 backstroke with a time of 59:30 and second in the 1000 freestyle in 10:33.04.
 
She was less than three second away from the NCAA B standard in the 100 backstroke and only nine seconds away from the B standard in the 1000 freestyle.
 
Hillsdale would end up beating Calvin while Grand Valley State was able to win the team scoring portion of the competition.
