Wilke became the meet's top diver after accumulating winning scores of 276.20 off the 1-meter board and 324.15 off the 3-meter plank.

UW-Oshkosh had two other event winners as Geidl won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 22.74 seconds and Sewell the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 52.54.

Alex Jernberg was involved in a trio of second-place listings for the Titans. He swam to times of 1:05.67 in the 100-yard breaststroke and 10:41.64 in the 1,000-yard freestyle while aiding Geidl, David Bain and Matt Holst to a time of 1:48.84 in the 200-yard medley relay.

UW-Oshkosh's remaining second-place listings belonged to Bain with a time of 1:00.59 in the 100-yard backstroke and Sewell in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:56.17. Bain also finished third in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:19.73.
