MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- Thanks to strong performances by sophomore Ben Wampler and junior Gary Roberson, the Williams College men's swimming and diving team finds itself in 12th place after the first day of events at the 2010 NCAA Div. III Swimming and Diving Championships.
Wampler earned the Ephs 13 points with a 6th-place finish in the 50 free with a time of 20.56. Roberson had started off the meet on a great note for Williams when he swam to an 8th-place finish in the 500 free with a time of 4:33.77.
Williams' 24 first-day team point was more than half of what it accumulated at the 2008-2009 championships.
