Swimming and Diving: Individual performances offset 3rd-place MAC finish

Saturday night at Miami University, the season ended for the majority of the Ohio swimming and diving team.

Despite some individuals' performances that qualified for the NCAA Championships, the team wasn't exactly cheerful following the meet, coach Greg Werner said.

It's bittersweet because we accomplished so much individually

Werner said. Then again I think this is the only time in the past 22 years we've finished in third place.

It's a tough pill for the girls to swallow. They don't like it.

Toledo widely considered to be the pre-meet favorites

captured its first Mid-American Conference Championship in school history. Miami University

the defending conference champions

finished 98.5 points out of the lead and in second place.

Ohio can still take pride in plenty individual accomplishments.

By the end of the four-day meet

junior Rachel Heim had won four events. Two of her times

the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke

set school

meet

conference and pool records.

She was named MAC Co-Swimmer of the Year
