SCAT excels at
Auburn meet
The Southern
Crescent Aquatic Team attended the War Eagle Invitational at Auburn University
Oct. 10–12 and placed seventh among nearly 40 teams. More than 1,000
swimmers attended the meet.
“Even though our swimmers have been out of the water for two weeks
because of the air structure placement at Kedron, our swimmers swam an
outstanding 54-percent personal best times,” said SCAT head coach
Jamey Myers. “This is over 100 percent better than last year at this
time. So, without much swimming, we were able to perform better than a
lot of fast teams. This is due to all the hard work and dedication to
dry-land training during the past two weeks.”
Seven SCAT swimmers placed in the top 10 in individual events at Auburn:
• Jessica Heimann — second in the 50- and 100-yard breaststroke,
third in the 50 backstroke, fourth in the 50 butterfly and 100 individual
medley, fifth in the 50 and 100 freestyle, sixth in the 200 freestyle,
and seventh in the 100 butterfly.
• Nicole Roddenbery — second in the 50 backstroke and 100 butterfly,
and sixth in the 50 freestyle.
• Lauren Cartwright — sixth in the 50 freestyle, seventh in
the 100 freestyle and 50 butterfly, eighth in the 50 breaststroke, ninth
in the 100 breaststroke, and 10th in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual
medley.
• MacKenzie Garrott — fifth in the 50 breaststroke.
• Brittany Stevens — fourth in the 50 and 100 butterfly.
• Zach Payne — second in the 200 butterfly, fourth in the 100
butterfly, fifth in the 50 backstroke, sixth in the 100 backstroke, seventh
in the 50 butterfly, and 10th in the 500 freestyle.
• Billy Jamerson — first in the 50, 100, and 200 breaststroke,
second in the 50 freestyle, third in the 200 individual medley, seventh
in the 100 butterfly, and 10th in the 50 butterfly.

time in each distance category were Nicholas Muffler (17.03 seconds in
the 50 breaststroke), Christina Harding (32.31 seconds in the 100 backstroke)
