The H20kie men sent two representatives to College Station, Texas, last weekend to compete in the NCAA Championships. Freshman Charlie Higgins swam the 100-and 200-meter ackstroke events, while junior Mikey McDonald took part in all three diving events.
McDonald returned to College Station for the second time in as many years after becoming the first H20kie diver ever to qualify for the NCAA last year.
In the 1-meter dive, the Annandale native posted a score of 341.15 - good enough for a 14th place finish and three points in the event. He followed up with a solid performance in the 3-meter dive, posting a 15th place finish with a score of 371.50.
In the final day of the competition, McDonald scored 293.00 for the 23rd best score on the platform dive.
Higgins swam very admirably in his first trip to the NCAA Championships, posting the 20th-best time in the 100-meter backstroke preliminary at 47.02. The freshman also registered the 33rd-best time in the 200-meter backstroke, touching in at 1:45.55.
After placing fifth in men's and third in women's in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, along with this weekend's performances in the NCAA Championships, the H20kies' season has come to a close.

Most image forensics are done in a way called "copy and paste", which means parts of the image are cloned from other parts. Site <a href="http://www.pskiller.com/">Photoshopped Image Killer</a> can detect such kind of image forgery very well. It identifies the forgery by detecting repetitions in the digital bits that comprise the imageeven if those repetitions are too subtle for the eye to detect or damaged by image compressions like JPEG.
