Swimming Returns Home for Pair of Meets

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – After back-to-back away meets, the Campbell swimming team returns to the Johnson Natatorium for a pair of meets this weekend. The Camels will face-off against the College of Charleston and Wingate on Friday at 4 p.m. before taking on North Florida on Saturday at 11 a.m.

The Camels will kick off the weekend on Friday against the Cougars and Bulldogs. The Cougars come into the match with a 0-3 record to start the season. Junior Cassie Tubb won the 100 and 200-breast in the Cougars' last meet against Davidson.

The Bulldogs come into the match after winning their season opener against Limestone. Wingate was led by a pair of freshman who each won two events in their first collegiate meet. Malin Kersmark won the 100 and 200-back and fellow freshman Sarah Lawless claimed victories in the 50 and 100-free.

On Saturday the Camels will return to the pool to face off against CCSA foe North Florida. This meet will mark a special occasion for two separate reasons. During this meet six incredible seniors will be honored for their dedication and service to the team in a special Senior Day ceremony.

The meet will also serve as a way to support the Swim for a Cure campaign which is aimed to help in the fight against breast cancer. Complimentary towels will be handed out to students and they will also be provided with free pizza courtesy of Papa's Subs and Pizza.

The Ospreys will open up their regular season on Friday afternoon as they swim against fellow conference member North Carolina A&T. North Florida will then turn around and travel to Campbell for the meet on Saturday. The Lady Ospreys have 14 returning letter winners from a team that finished fifth in the CCSA last season.
