Zemaitis, swimming in his final home meet at Lake Forest College, went out with a bang by swimming in all 11 events in the Foresters' 115-74 victory.

The 800 and 200 were the first two individual events of the meet and the 400 was the next-to-last.

He also swam a leg on the 400 medley and 400 freestyle relays. For the season Zemaitis has recorded top-three Lake Forest times in seven events, including the second-best times in the 200, 500, 1000 and 1650 freestyle events. He is also a member of all three of the team's top freestyle relay units. The Midwest
Conference Swimmers of the Week are chosen by the league's sports information
directors.
