In two dual meets last week, RPI sophomore John Alberta had a team-best six victories, including three as an individual, in the seven events in which he swam. In a 188-105 win at Vassar, he won the 50 free in 22.38 and the 200 backstroke in 2:01.78, all after starting the day as the final swimmer on the victorious 400 medley relay team (3:36.82). The next day in Troy, John helped defeat Hartwick, 179-119, by capturing the 200 medley relay (1:37.09), again swimming fourth, the 100 freestyle in 48.03 and the 400 free relay in 3:13.40. He swam the opening leg of the 400 relay. John also finished second in the 50 free with a time of 22.22.
