Tigers Roll Over the 'Roos

The Colorado College men's swimming and diving team dominated its opponent for the second straight night, defeating SCAC foe Austin College, 161-15, Saturday afternoon at Schlessman Natatorium.
 
Junior Cade Thumann and freshman Tony Saenz each won a pair of races for the second time in as many days. Thumann captured the 50- and 500-yard freestyle races, while Saenz touched first in the 400 individual medley and 200 breaststroke.
 
Sophomores Topher Shepherd and Ben Laidlaw each won an individual race and swam on a winning relay team. Shepherd won the 100 freestyle and anchored the 200 freestyle relay, while Laidlaw captured the 200 backstroke and led off the 400 medley relay.
 
Sophomore Will Barber (200 freestyle) and freshman Eric Uerling (200 butterfly) also won a race against the 'Roos on Saturday.
 
"The team shirts we wore today said RESILIENT," head coach Anne Goodman James said. "That's the thought that drives us during this crazy season. Today being the second day of tough racing in a row, definitely forced us to be physically and mentally resilient. We are developing a toughness that will give us results beyond our limited preparation when we get to the SCAC Championships. I like the way our team just loves to race, and the excitement that they show for their teammates."
 
The Tigers return to action on Saturday, Jan. 30, against Colorado Mines in Golden, Colo.
