The women were led by diver Chrissie Mayr (Rockville Center, N.Y.) as she took second-place on the three-meter board and third-place on the one-meter. Freshman Liz Lawlor (North Wales, Pa.) turned in the best swim on the day for the women with a second-place finish in the 100 breast. Sophomore Brittany Hunter (Mt.
