POOL BOYS: In Miami's only home meet during the month of January, the RedHawks will take on Wright State at 6 p.m. at the Corwin M. Nixon Aquatic Center before traveling to Gambier, Ohio to face Kenyon College on Saturday. Saturday's meet will be the first time since the first weekend of the season (Nov. 1-2) that Miami will swim two separate meets in back-to-back days.
DIVING IN HEAD FIRST: The Miami men's diving team has not lost an event in nearly two months, dating back to Nov. 16 against Ohio State. Sophomore Peter Donohue took first in both the one- and three-meter diving competitions against the University of Cincinnati on Friday evening. The Miami and MAC record holder in the one-meter diving event scored 363.95 points on the same event at Cincinnati. Donohue also scored 313.60 in the three-meter diving event. Donohue and freshman Zach Niehaus split the top spots in the one- and three-meter diving events at the Miami Invitational on Dec. 5-7.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Although the record did not reflect anything different during most of December and some of January, the Red and White did not lie dormant over the break. Miami traveled to Plantation, Fla. where they trained for the second half of the season. The RedHawks participated in an intersquad, non-scoring meet on the Dec. 21 to cap off the stay down south.
HITTIN' THE BOOKS: Besides the obvious work the RedHawks put in the pool, Miami showed their academic prowess this past semester. With a team grade point average just below 3.0, the RedHawks stayed on the academic all-American list. The Red and White had 13 swimmers earn above a 3.0 GPA and five swimmers were named to the dean's list.
