UWM head swimming and diving coach Dave Clark added two divers to his roster, he announced today.

Randy Dankert (West Bend, Wis./West) was a WIAA Division 1 state diving finalist for three years. He finished fifth at the 2000 meet, his highest finish.

"Randy, as a three-time state finalist, has lots of experience in pressure situations," Clark said. "He should be a contender in the conference as a freshman. We look forward to seeing Randy compete for UWM next season."

Hannah Burgard (West Bend, Wis./West) was a four-time WIAA Division 1 diving finalist and was state champion in 1999.

"Any time you get a state champion into your program, it's a coup. As good as Hannah is, she still has great potential for improvement," Clark said. "Hannah should compete with the rest of our women's diving program, right at the top of the conference."
