Brenau Swim Team Heads to ASC Championships

Brenau's Swim Team travels to Barbourville, KY to compete at the Appalachian Swimming Conference Championships, Feb.17-19. The women head into this meet ranked top three in all relays and with impressive individual event rankings - Hannah Boudreaux (1st- 200 Fly, 200 IM & 400 IM); Michelle Billeaud (1st- 100 Back, 200 Back); Julia Ferreira (3rd- 100 Breaststroke, 200 Breaststroke); Lisa Portwood (2nd - 200 free, 500 free); Meredith Barrington (4th- 100 fly).

With five team members already qualified for the NAIA National Championships in Oklahoma, the Golden Tigers look to achieve personal best times, break school records and take down rival competition in this team spirited meet. All eight swimmers are approaching the end of a successful and landmark year for the program, having posted 90% best times, over 30 national qualifying times and re-writing the record books with 10 new school records.

"The ASC Championships is a great opportunity for us to come together as a united front and work together as a team. Even with only 8 women, our goal is to place within the top four- moving us up 3 places from 2011. We are motivated, trained and excited to compete, and as a coach, I couldn't be prouder of their daily commitment to their sport." ~ Head Coach, Blaire Bachman
