"It was an exceptional day," Dayton coach Owen Lanning said. "We have a small unit (of athletes), but they did pretty well. They had their best meet of the year. It's a talented group that you'll find once in a lifetime at a small school. You couldn't ask for a nicer, hard-working group. I'm proud of them."
