Calvin’s point total marked a 58-point improvement over its 2010 conference meet score and it marked Calvin’s highest point total since the MIAA moved to eight places for both for championship and consolation finals. At the conclusion of Saturday’s competition, Calvin freshman Andy Krafft (Fort Wayne, IN/Home Schooled) was named the MIAA’s Most Valuable Diver, becoming the first individual in Calvin men’s swimming and diving history to receive the award. During the conference meet, Krafft captured league titles on both the one and three-meter boards, joining 1982 Calvin graduate Dirk Pruis as the only two divers in Calvin men’s history to win both events in the same year. Pruis was the first to do so, winning both the one and three-meter titles at the 1982 MIAA Championships.
