COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Fresh off last week's victory, the Lindsey Wilson College swimming team went head to head with Asbury (Ky.) College on Saturday night at the Holloway Health and Wellness Center Natatorium.
While it was only the second competition of the season, this particular meet held a special meaning to Lindsey Wilson.
The dual against Asbury represented the first meet ever hosted on the Lindsey Wilson campus inside the Holloway Center Natatorium -- a brand new facility that just finished construction in early 2010.
"It's certainly different having a lot more people in the pool," said Lindsey Wilson freshman Jonathan Hindman. "While we are growing as a team, it's nice seeing other competitors in the pool."
Hindman was one of two members on the team to rack up a national-qualifying time on Saturday. Hindman made his cut with two breaststroke races, recording times of one minutes and 1.48 seconds in the 100 yard and 2:14.68 in the 200 yard.
Corey Hall also reached a national cut during the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:00.11.
Despite fantastic individual performances, Lindsey Wilson couldn't rally up enough points and lost to Asbury 180-64.
"This is the toughest type of meet to have," said Blue Raider head coach Alicia Kemnitz. "Most of our athletes are freshmen, so this a tough turn around to have coming out of high school. Our turns and walls were really weak today, but we will definitely work on improving those."
Lindsey Wilson returns to action at 1 p.m. CT on Nov. 13 at Rhodes (Tenn.) College.
