NORTON -- Jumbo swimmers were the fastest in 12 events, and
senior quad-captain Rob Matera (Trumbull, CT) won
both diving events, as Tufts wrapped up the regular season with a
non-scoring, two-day meet at the Wheaton College Invitational on
Friday and Saturday.
Sophomore Owen Rood (Branford, CT) had a hand
in four Tufts wins. His 1:46.75 time in the 200 freestyle was the
fastest. He was also a member of the winning 400 medley relay
(3:35.67), 400 freestyle relay (3:12.22), and 200 free relay
(1:27.01).
Matera was way ahead of the field while winning 11-dive programs
off the one-meter (479.85 points) and three-meter (492.65) boards.
Sophomore Andrew Vidikan (Littleton, CO) posted
the best times in both the 1,000 freestyle and the 200 butterfly.
His times were 10:21.01 and 2:01.86, respectively.

Thomas (Randolph, NJ) swam a time of 49.24 seconds in the
100 freestyle and Benjamin Newman (Bloomington,

members of the 200 and 400 freestyle foursomes. Senior
Rowan Frankel (Weston, MA) and freshman
Julius Linn (Winter Springs, FL) completed the 400
medley team, and junior Gordy Jenkins (Kansas City,
MO) was with the 200 free group.
Several time trials were also held at the meet.
