That bounty of honors included 14 First Team All-Americans, which indicated finishing eighth or better in an event. Those efforts helped Washington and Lee to 140 points and seventh in the team standings. Emory University captured the title with 645 points. Washington and Lee swimmers set 10 ODAC records in seven different events.
