The Wheeling Mens and Womens Swimming Teams return to action tomorrow, Sunay October 4th, as they travel back to Bethany for the WV Small College Invite. The Men are coming off a dominant first place performance at the Salem Relay meet this Saturday just gone, whilst the Women put in a strong performance to take third in the meet.

Top performers for the men last weekend were Emmanuele Lugo and Segmen Duygun. Lugo earned MEC male swimmer of the week for his effort in the 200 yard freestyle, where he clocked a time of 1:49.36 in his stint to propel the Cardinals to a Gold medal. Duygun wasn't far behind him with his own stint, as he swam a 1:49.49 in the same team as Lugo. Aris Dimakis was another Cardinal to get the season off to a flying start, as he swam a 22.02 in the 50 freestyle.

Grace Moorley was the third best performer of the whole event last week, as her 2:07.05 in the 200 freestyle was a standout performance at the meet. Moorley took two spots of the top 10 performances last weekend, as her 26.75 in the 50 free was good enough for 8th. Laura Vehns rounded out the top 10 performances at the event and marked the Cardinals as joint top scorers individually, as she swam a time of 59.10 in the 100 freestyle.

The Men won the event with a score of 156, 98 points away from their closest challengers Shawnee State. The Women finished the event with 70 points, just 8 off second.

The Men's and Women's Swimming teams will get underway tomorrow afternoon around midday from Salem, West Virginia.
