OXFORD, Ohio, November 3. SOPHOMORE Chris Heaton reset his own varsity 3-meter diving record and the Miami University men's swimming and diving team won 11 of 16 events as it opened the 2006-07 season with a 170.5-123.5 Mid-American Conference dual meet win over the Ball State Cardinals.
On Friday afternoon at the Nixon Aquatic Center, Heaton bested his own school record on the 3-meter board with a first-place score of 344.85.
