MARIETTA, Ga. – This past weekend the Lady Tiger swim team travelled to Life University for a dual meet with the Running Eagles.
The Lady Tiger performances were highlighted by the 400-freestyle relay team as
Hannah Rhodenbaugh, Sara Beth Howard,
Faith Hyde, and
Hannah Hager helped the relay team to a 30 second season improvement, which was enough for an NAIA qualifying mark.

She was able to put together a record an 11:50.63 to win the event. Rhodenbaugh also recorded a runner up finish in the 500-yard freestyle event with a 5:45.18.
In the 500-yard freestyle, Rhodenbaugh was joined by Hager and
Mikayla Runner in the scoring column.
In the 100-yard backstroke, the Lady Tigers had quite the battle amongst themselves as Howard was able to record an event win after narrowly edging
Faith Hyde as the two took first and second in the event.
Overall, Life was able to defeat the Lady Tigers 137-76.
However, Coach Casey was extremely proud of the squads as both the men's and women's team continually show improvements as they tallied 23 season bests between the two teams.
The Lady Tigers will return home on Friday, October 25
thas they play host to Asbury and Life.
