Although there are many Blue Devils back in the pool swimming Masters, to our knowledge, only two participated in this year's Masters Nationals held at the Indianapolis Aquatic Center on the weekend of May 9. Dan Buerger ('89) and Kristin Gary ('89), although now on different teams, were happy to see each other back on deck. Kristin came away from the weekend with ample hardware, becoming a four-time national champion! Dan placed quite well also. Here are their complete results:
