Cade Thumann, Mac O'Brien and Tony Saenz each won a pair of individual events Friday to lead the Colorado College men's swimming and diving team to a 178-44 victory over the University of the Ozarks Friday night at Schlessman Natatorium.
 
The Tigers, participating in their first meet in 11 months, captured all but one event against the Eagles.
 
Thumann captured the 200-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly races, while Saenz, a freshman, won the 1000 freestyle and 100 breaststroke events. Saenz also swam third on the first-place 400-yard freestyle relay, joining Walker Martin, Julian Frerichs and Cole Thumann.
 
O'Brien, meanwhile, won both the 1- and 3-meter diving events on Friday.
 
Cole Thumann (200 IM), Baker Casagrande (50 freestyle), Ben Laidlaw (100 backstroke) and Topher Shepherd (500 freestyle) also captured an event for the Tigers.
 
"We are so grateful to have this chance to compete today," head coach Anne Goodman James said. "I asked our team to be bold, and to really step into this opportunity, and they truly did step in and step up.  We were so excited to race in a real meet situation, and I am truly impressed with what we were able to do today.  Our first years and our returnees all contributed to the energy in the team performance today."
 
The Tigers are back in action on Saturday, Jan. 16 against Austin College.
