	2012-13 MEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING SEASON REVIEW After three straight fifth-place finishes at the CCIW Swimming & Diving Championships, Coach Scott Johannsen's men's team jumped a spot to fourth in the league this year. Junior Justin Reppy led the way, winning both the 200 (1:42.75) and 500 (4:35.27) freestyles in school-record times. He joined sophomores Aaron Holt and Josh Wielenga and freshman David Sommers in earning all-conference honors. Reppy's were just two of five individual Augustana standards that were surpassed this season. This year's Vikings also took down three relay records on their way to a 5-1 dual-meet mark and the championship at Illinois Wesleyan's Halloween Invitational.

Those performances helped secure a fourth place team finish for head coach Scott Johannsen's Augustana Vikings with 485 points.
