"It was a good day for Navy," said Navy women's swimming head coach John Morrison.  "I was very proud of the energy and fight in the first portion of the meet, but we need to work on better managing the same energy during the second half.  Overall, there were some great in-season performances in both swimming and diving.  I'm proud of the fight we displayed in the last two events."
 
Winning two events for the Navy men's team were swimmer Luke Johnson (Jr., Charlotte, N.C.) and diver Bradley Buchter (Sr., Hickory, N.C.).  Johnson claimed wins in each of the two distance freestyle races.  He would win the 1000 free by 12 seconds with his time of 9:24.06 and was the top swimmer in the 500 free with his time of 4:34.32.  Johnson won the 500 free by 1.21 seconds.
 
Buchter topped 400 points in winning each of the two boards and had a combined margin of victory of 191.55 points.  He scored 440.15 points to win the one-meter board and accrued 405.80 points to win the three-meter event.
 
"I'm really pleased with the way we raced and competed today," said Navy men's swimming head coach Bill Roberts.  "Like everyone else, we are in a really challenging training stretch right now and I am very proud of the way the team is responding.  Andy MacGregor (Sr., Grand Rapids, Mich.) and his classmates have been doing a terrific job in leading this group and it is great to see all of their hard work and commitment in action."
