          Eleven proved to be a lucky number, indeed, for the men's swimming and diving team, which maintained a dynasty in the CAA with its 11^th straight conference championship in 2011-12. Coach Dave Allen's team set 11 school records and three conference marks as the Seahawks cruised at George Mason's McKay Aquatic Center in Fairfax, Va.  Allen, in his 35^th season with the program, was named CAA Men's Swimming Coach-of-the-Year for the fifth year in a row and ninth time overall. Four swimmers -Alex Aguilar, Stephen Conrad, C.J. Fiala  and Joe Gallene - capped off the year by competing in the U.S. Swimming Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., with Conrad winning his heat in the 100 Butterfly.
