Swimming Defeats Liberty 111-94; Kylie Warne Sets Campbell Record

LYNCHBURG, Va. - Campbell's swimming team (1-0) started the season on the winning track with a 111-94 victory over Liberty on Saturday, Oct. 2 in Lynchburg. The meet was the first-ever for the Flames.

CU freshman Kylie Warne had a great first day for Campbell in winning a pair of events and setting a school record. The freshman from Alberta, Canada won both the 1,000 free and the 100 back. Her time of 10:49.20 in the 1,000 free is school record and bested the 10:53.49 swam by Jackie Kenline nearly three years ago in a meet against Georgia Southern and Howard. Warne also swam a 1:01.20 in winning the 100 back.

Fellow newcomer Virginia Dailey won her event with a time of 2:14.50 in the 200 IM. A third member of the freshman class, Cheriesse Campbell had an immediate impact with an event win in the 500 free (5:11.62). Junior Emily Michael was also an event winner for Campbell with her time of 1:09.48 in the 100 breast.

The Camels had three second-place finishes in individual events by Campbell (1:55.91 - 200 free) and senior Ashlyn Stumpf (25.19 - 50 free and 54.90 in 1000 butterfly).

The CU relay team in the 200 medley (freshman Kaitlyn Burnette, freshman Charlotte Cornet, senior Casey Umberger and sophomore Kaitlyn Tunstall) placed second in their event with a time of 1:55.91.

The Campbell relay team in the 200 free relay also placed second in their event (1:41.29).

Next, Campbell's swimming program returns home to the Johnson Aquatic Center to host North Carolina A&T and Georgia Southern on Oct. 15 at 5 p.m.
