Greencastle, Ind. - The DePauw men's swimming and diving team fell-short against #12 WashU in a home dual-meet Saturday, 102-204.

Distance freestyle built momentum for the Tigers, as Daniel Schwendinger battled to a strong third-place finish in the 1000 free (9:56.88).

The Tigers carried that surge directly into the sprint events, where Connor Overgaard took third in the 100-backstroke (54.44) and 100-freestyle (53.19)

On the boards, Brodie Morken collected two third-place finishes: 1-meter dive (210.80) and 3-meter dive (167.50).

Cale Bennett contributed key points on the boards with a second-place finish in the 3-meter dive and a third-place finish in the 1-meter dive.  

DePauw continued to rack up points across the middle of the meet. Andrew Thompson swam to third in the 500 freestyle in 4:43.91.

The Tigers closed the meet strong in the individual medley sweeping the event: Aaron Graff (1:59.91), Eric Herrera (2:05.16), and Will Longfellow (2:06.64). 

The men finished the afternoon with a statement in the 300-yard free relay, sweeping the event. DePauw's "A" quartet of Schwendinger, James Anderson, Jeremy Stutzman, and Tyler Farkas set the tone with a 3:14.71, while the "B" relay followed close behind in 3:17.90 to give DPU their last points of the meet.
