Camels return to action with two road meets

BUIES CREEK - Campbell returns to action after a week off with a pair of road meets at Gardner-Webb and UNC Asheville. The Camels face the Runnin' Bulldogs Friday at 5 p.m. and then head to Asheville for a meet Saturday at morning at 10:30.

Campbell sits at 3-4 on the year with wins coming over UNC Pembroke, Chowan and Barton. The last time the Camels swam was at a tri-meet in Wilmington, N.C. where Campbell fell to both UNCW and Georgia Tech.
