Wemple and Jensen again finished ahead of the pack in 200-yard breastroke Their win mng times were 2:24.9 and 2:257 Bob Boyer took the 50 - yard freestyle event in 22.5 and teammate Jay Greening took second in 22 8 They defeated defending W.A.C. champ, Don Gray Two Utah swimmers register ed double wins Rich Kittle cap tured the 100- and 200 - yard freestyle races, and Dave Fuhri man the 200 butterfly and 200 individual medley.
