HAMILTON, N.Y. - The Lafayette swimming and diving team competed in a conference tri-meet on Saturday afternoon against host Colgate and Army.

"We had some pretty good performances today," head coach Jim Dailey said. "We are still pretty beat up after our winter training trip, but overall the performances are about where we thought they would be and I'm proud of the team's effort at the end of the dual-meet season."
