Lycoming Competes at Wooster Invitational
Young Warriors Have Several Strong Showings

WOOSTER, Ohio—Although they did not have any individual victories at the 10-team Wooster Invitational, the Warrior swimmers posted several personal best times and showed much promise. Several Warrior swimmers placed in the top ten of their respective events. Head coach Jerry Hammaker believes, "we've set ourselves up for some tough training and good seed times for the MAC's."

Sophomore Milvana Ban (Harrisburg, PA) excelled in multiple categories, finishing 5^th in the women’s 400-yard IM, 12^th in the 500-yard freestyle and 7^th in the 200-yard backstroke. Senior Amy Gatehouse (Bethel Park, PA) notched a pair of 8^th place finishes in the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke.

Men’s Co-Captain, Chris Dempsey (Newtown, PA) recorded a pair of top ten finishes. The senior placed 7^th in the 1650-yard freestyle and 7^th in the 400-yard IM. Sophomore Brian Fausel (Burdett, NY) also recorded top ten finishes in both the 100 and 200-yard butterfly.

Sean Houser (Alexandria, VA), Austin Johnstone (Woodbine, MD), and Nichole Zoller (Colonia, NJ) all grabbed top ten finishes at Wooster as well. All three freshmen figure to be serious contributors as the Warrior swim teams progress over the next four years. 

Lycoming’s next contest is a home meet versus Misericordia on January 10 at 7:00 p.m.
