Sophomore swimmer Charles Platt (Downers Grove, Ill. / Downers Grove North) and the 12th-ranked Knights men's swimming and diving team defeated MIAA opponents Alma and Albion in dual meets on Friday night. Platt swam an MIAA leading time of 1:44.9 in the 200 freestyle, a 51.29 in the 100 backstroke, and was the lead-off for the winning 400 freestyle relay with a split of 47.06.
