Roggemann was 13th in the butterfly and 14th went to Boo in the 100 freestyle and McGurk in the individual medley (IM).

"We were thrilled to end up in seventh place," said CL head coach Jim Sauerbry. "We had personal bests all over the place. All three relays hit season bests and Donahue (John) set another school record. It was wonderful to have a chance to swim at the U of M. It's an unbelievable facility."

The swimmers host St. Louis Park tonight, Thursday, September 25 and travel to Robbinsdale-Cooper Thursday, February 1. Both meets start at 6 p.m.
