Cal State Bakersfield powered its way through the Division II Men's Swimming and Diving Championships March 14-17, proving last year's win was no fluke. The Roadrunners widened the margin of victory this time with a 621 to 562 1/2 finish over runner-up Drury.

Vlasta Burda was a force to be reckoned with as he captured the 500-, 1,000- and 1,650-yard freestyles for the Roadrunners. Additional victories in the 400- and 800-yard freestyle relays and a win in the 200-yard freestyle kept Cal State Bakersfield's competition at bay.

Drury posted wins in the 400-yard medley relay, the 200-yard backstroke, the 200-yard breaststroke and the one-meter diving events, but could not accumulate enough points to overtake the Roadrunners.

The meet was a talent show for a variety of swimmers from schools not in direct contention for the title. Tampa's Jim Kiner claimed the 100-yard breaststroke. UC Davis senior Tea Austin won the 100-yard backstroke and the 100-yard freestyle. Southern Connecticut State's Ben Michaelson won the 100- and 200-yard butterfly swims, while Indianapolis' Orel Oral turned in another dominating performance with wins in the 200- and 400-yard individual medley events.

Michaelson was named swimmer of the meet. Cal State Bakersfield's Rob Pendergrass was named diver of the meet after winning the three-meter springboard.
