| Karen Byrd, a senior accounting
major from Raleigh, returns for her fourth season on ASU’s
club swim team. The team’s first meet of the season is
Nov. 15-17 at Elon University. |
This year, the Appalachian State University club swim
team wants to maintain the interest carried over from last season.
“We’re looking forward to building a strong team of both
men and women and maintaining the interest carried over from last
season,” senior team president Ashley Hawks said. Hawks returns
for her fourth season.
“This year we had around fifty freshmen sign up at club expo,
which is a lot compared to previous years,” Hawks said. “We’re
really excited and looking forward to the upcoming season.”
Last year the Mountaineers had a successful season, competing in
five meets. At Radford University, the women’s team finished
seventh out of 13 teams, ahead of six varsity teams.
