Vyzhymov's efforts helped the Cardinals to their first dual-meet victory of the season -- an 103-80 triumph at Brooklyn (Nov. 18). The rookie was the first swimmer to touch the wall in the 800-meter freestyle, setting the pace with a time of 15:06.94. Vyzhymov followed up that performance with a winning time of 1:19.44 in the 100-meter breaststroke, as well.
