INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Cleveland State split its final day in Indianapolis as the Green and White defeated Milwaukee, 181-117, but fell to IUPUI for a second straight day, 183-115. On the afternoon, the Vikings won four individual races and one relay.

"Today was incredible," said coach Burandt. "We aren't historically known as a sprint program, and today we sprinted and were competitive in ways we've never been able to before. We had the most fun, were the loudest team, and were incredibly competitive. I can't wait to see how our team performs in the next dual meet against Youngstown and at Magnus."

Cleveland State swept the top three spots in the 50-yard butterfly; Johnston (22.47), Thomas, (23.01), and Merchbaker (23.16).
