Egan's time broke the school record set by Peter Egan [no relation] in 1986. Teammates Drake and senior Adam Shaw also placed in the consolation heat of the event, going 50.09 and 50.16, respectively.

Cole then took fourth in the 500-yard free, going a best time of 4:25.36 while Oren won the consolation heat of the event with a time of 4:26.78, a five-second drop from his swim in preliminaries that morning.

"It probably took us a day to get adjusted to the environment after a long day of travel on Thursday," Murphy said.

Saturday proved even better for the Crimson as the men kicked off the evening by placing four divers in the top sixteen on the one-meter board. Of those, freshman Ricky Roy scored highest, securing sixth with 235.80 points.

Swimming-wise, three was the magic number for the Crimson on Saturday. The 200 medley relay of Im, Grant, Kyle Egan and Waters tied with Wisconsin for third with a time of 1:29.42. Oren took third in the 400 individual medley in 3:53.35 and Im placed third in the 100 backstroke, finishing in 48.64.

"A lot of what showed up [this weekend] is the work that we've been doing with Mike and with Will in practice," Murphy said. "The work that they did last spring and summer really rolled over into the fall."

Grant also swam well, turning in a fifth-place finish of 55.95 in the 100 breaststroke.
