CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Saturday was a day to work out the kinks for Campbellsville University Swim Teams, competing in a 13-event, double-dual format with brand new timing gear.

 

  

Breaking in some new timing equipment, the men and women hosted teams from St. Catharine and Bethel. Along the way, national qualifying times were set in the women's 200-meter free and medley relay races and several individuals set personal bests or just missed by fractions of a second of setting "B" cut standards.

 

Oh, and they won both sides of the competition.

 

"I am very pleased with the results of the meet," said Coach Casey Smith. "However, more important was me seeing how well my team worked together.

 

"I saw a great deal of positive attitudes and everyone was really engaged when their teammates were competing. The relays really worked well together."

 

On the men's side, Jeff Brown won three events and Marquise Crosby one. The women had four swimmers — Kyle Perkins, Shelby Mattingly, April Hill and Bailey Foxworth — to win two races each.

 

At the end of the meet the coaches agreed to have a couple of coed relays for exhibition purposes only.

 

"It provided some extra competitive practice time," said Smith, explaining the reasoning. "Plus, we (the coaches) agree that relays are a great way to build team spirit."

 

St. Catharine and Bethel will return to Campbellsville on January 19 when the squads compete in their second to last regular-season event and hold Senior Day.
