"Great effort this week following a tough week of workouts and a rough weekend a week ago," Head Coach
Brian Striker said. "The men had a good amount of great performances today, Chris's [Deaver] win and score on the 3-meter board secured him a spot at the NCAA regional meet. Andrew [Edmister] had a solid 200-back time for this early in our season, as was Koltenuk's 500. [Richard] Berger and [Justin] Jarmer also had a great meet. In a comparison week to week from last week, we did much better. I am looking forward to another hard week of work before we head into Thanksgiving Break and the Ithaca Invitational in three weeks."
