BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell's swim team (3-7) begins the busy month of November with a pair of dual meets against conference rivals this weekend. The Camels are slated to take on Georgia Southern on Friday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. in Statesboro, Ga. before heading down the road to Jacksonville, Fla. to take on North Florida at noon.

The Camels fell to both Richmond and N.C. State last weekend. Their highest individual finish came in the 200 IM by Emily Michael. Michael used a time of 2:20.97 to finish in third. She also set a season high in the 200-beast, finishing sixth with a time of 2:35.01. Campbell's 200 free relay team of senior Kara Gerdeman, freshman Kaitlyn Tunstall, senior Jackie Kenline and junior Ashlyn Stumpf posted a time of 1:42.67 and finished in the top three last Saturday. On the season, freshman Magda Kedracka leads the team with five top-three finishes.

Georgia Southern (2-4) split the team's Tri-Meet at College of Charleston last weekend. The Eagles defeated College of Charleston by a 214-62 margin and lost a close one to North Florida, 149-141. This will be the first home meet of the season for Georgia Southern. Senior Lauren Parr and Courtney Martz have both recorded seven event wins for GSU this season. North Florida (3-0) have started the season strong with wins over Florida A&M, College of Charleston and Georgia Southern. This will also be the first home swim of the season for the Osprey. UNF have already won two Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Swimmers of the Week. Senior Emily Shaw won the award following the first week of competition, while junior Lyn Ann Nelson took home the award on Monday, Nov. 2.

Next, Campbell's swimming program heads to Radford, Va. to take on Radford University in a dual meet on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. The Camels will travel back to Radford the following weekend, Nov. 19-21, for the Highlander Invitational.
