The Miami men's swimming and diving team stands in fifth place out of 13 teams after the finals at the Corwin M. Nixon Aquatic Center on the second day of the Miami Invitational on Friday evening. Sophomore Peter Donohue (Cincinnati, Ohio/Turpin) led the RedHawks on Friday when he set a Miami record and a Mid-American Conference record in men's one-meter diving.

Senior Kelly Ball (Granger, IN/Penn) placed second in the championship final event on Friday as he touched the wall in 1:39.55, which stands as an exceptionally strong time during the early portion of the season.
