St. Thomas scored 740 points to finish second, as the two rivals distanced themselves from the pack. Carleton scored 536 points to edge a competitive trio for third place, with Gustavus (498.5) edging Saint John's (429) for fifth.

Cardinals at the MIAC Championships—A Year Ago:
Evan Lecy (St. Paul, Minn.)—who qualified seventh and finished eighth in the one-meter diving competition during the opening day of the three-day conference championship event at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center—earned himself another seventh-place qualifying performance in the three-meter event, posting a season-best score of 283.95, and, for the second time in three days, settled for an eighth-place finish in the finals. And while Lecy was making the most of his first-ever championship experience, Anna Smaron (Maple Plain, Minn.) closed out her four-year collegiate career with a memorable MIAC Championships of her own, whittling eight seconds off her season-best time in the 200 breaststroke to post a time of 2:37:70 | Complete Recap
