KIRKSVILLE, Mo. - The Western Illinois swimming and diving program was swept at Truman State University on Saturday.

Both squads lost 131-47 to the Bulldogs.

"This meet was harder than most because of the 1650 and the 400 IM," said head coach Greg Naumann. "I look for the team to continue to get stronger as the season continues, and to be able to have some more top swims against opponents."

Shawn Fitzpatrick and Alayna Colley had strong finishes for the women's squad. Colley finished second (2:16.75) in the 200 Yard Backstroke and Fitzpatrick placed third (2:02.91) in the 200 Yard Freestyle.

Fitzpatrick, Colley, Jamie Grau and Jessica Schnaiter placed second (1:45.79) in the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay, and finished fourth (4:19.78) in the Women 400 Yard Medley Relay.

Phil Kurz, Jeff Davis and Conor Ozog highlighted the Men's side. Davis placed second (5:05.38) in the 500 Yard Freestyle and also finished fourth (17:47.55) in the 1650 Yard Freestyle. Kurz finished second (23.14) in the 50 Yard Freestyle and Ozog placed second (2:23.71) in the 200 Yard Breaststroke.

All three swimmers also placed second (1:30.99) in the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay with Mike Regan.

The Leathernecks will return to action next at the Iowa State University Meet in Ames, Iowa on Oct. 30.
