GENEVA, Ohio - The Men's Swimming and Diving team continued its hot start to the season with two wins over A-10 opponents St. Bonaventure and Saint Louis.
Head Coach
Jamie Platt was impressed with the performance, saying after the meet, "It was a great opportunity to compete at our championship pool. We need to use it as an early season rehearsal for A-10's. We had a lot of strong performances and, as expected at this time of the year, some that need to be worked on."
The team dominated the relays over the weekend. The 200 free relay team started the day with a win as Sam Odtallah, Norman Gregory,
Marcus Forsgren, and
