ROCHESTER, Mich. - Western Illinois diver Doug Ogilvie claimed the one-meter diving title in day three of the 2012 Summit League Swimming and Diving Championships to highlight meet action.
His score of 283.90 edged out South Dakota State's Connor Florand who posted a 280.40 mark. This is the second event title of the championships for Ogilvie, as he won three-meter diving on Thursday (Feb. 16).
Leatherneck Jonathan Bond earned the highest swimming event finish for the men taking sixth overall in 100 Back competition. Earning eighth place finishes were Josh Davis in 400 IM and Tyler Neaveill in 100 Fly. The 400 Medley Relay team of Bond, Josh Davis, Jacob Shain and Neaveill took sixth.
Jamie Grau led the way for the women placing eighth in 100 Breast competition. The 400 Medley Relay team of Shawn Fitzpatrick, Grau, Taylor Miller and Julia Rassmussen swam to an eighth place finish.
"The team swam very well tonight," head coach Greg Naumann said. "We had a lot of swims this evening, and were highlighted with a first place finish from Doug on one-meter and Jon Bond leading off the 400 medley relay claiming the school record (50.86). I couldn't be happier with how the team stepped up today. On paper, we had people not supposed to score and they ended up making it back. Those who looked like they should only score in the consolation heat, were able to make it into the finals heat. This just gives the team some more fuel on the fire to finish out tomorrow and the final day strong."
Following day three, men and women both occupy sixth place in team scoring. Oakland men and women hold dominant leads standing in first place. The final day of competition is Saturday (Feb. 18).
