Yes, But

Saint John’s delivered strong individual and relay performances, but still lost to St. Olaf by 59 points. Hamline finished third among four teams at the Oct. 31 Gustavus Adolphus Invitational.

State of Play
  • Hamline freshman Brady Chavarria placed third in the 200-yard breaststroke at the invitational.
  • Watts’ 11-dive scores from the St. Olaf meet rank second in NCAA Division III, according to Saint John’s.
What’s Next

Saint John’s and Hamline meet Friday at 5 p.m. at Bush Center Pool in St. Paul; the meet will be streamed live.

Bottom Line

Saint John’s brings several event winners and a nationally ranked diver into the dual, but will need team-wide points to turn individual success into a meet victory.
