YPSILANTI, Mich.--Miami University freshman James Beres (Columbus) swept both the one-meter and three-meter competition, but the RedHawk swimming and diving squad lost Saturday at Eastern Michigan, 179-119, at the Olds Student Recreation Center.
The loss evened Miami's Mid-American Conference record to 1-1 and dropped its overall mark to 3-7.
Beres stepped in beautifully for MU's absent all-star diver Chris Heaton, scoring a meet-best 292.20 in the one-meter competition and 294.60 in the three-meter event.
Other RedHawk winners included Brendan Melling (Fr., Solon) in the 1000 freestyle (9:29.98) and Chris Gunnels (Fr., Chapel Hill, NC) in the 100 backstroke (:51.92). Gunnels also was a member of the runner-up 400 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay units.
Other second-place finishers for Miami included Nick DuPuis (Sr., Atlanta, GA) in the 100 butterfly and the 200 freestyle, Cameron Horner (Fr., Columbus) in both the one- and three-meter diving events, David Brown (Jr., Lake Orion, MI) in the 50 free, and Jason Hass (So., Jackson, MI) in the 200 individual medley.
