placing seventh in three events - the 200 and 400 IM as well as the 200 breast.
Diver Dave Wilkinson '09 had the highest finish by a Cardinal capturing third in
the one-meter board while also placing sixth in the three-meter event.
J.P. Valette '10 grabbed eighth on the three-meter board. Pepi nailed down
sixth place in the 50 free, Dana Drost '11 was eighth in the 200 IM and Storms
