Despite
being one of only two club teams swimming in a meet at Radford University,
the Appalachian State University club swimming team finished seventh
place out of 13, ahead of six varsity teams and just barely behind
another. Teams from around the country participated in the swim
meet, with Georgia Institute of Technology fielding the only other
club team.
Perhaps the most well known school, University
of Notre Dame, eked out sixth place over Appalachian by a mere four
points.
