[November 21, 2017] 

The Lincoln College Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Team were once again in action this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as they traveled norrth to compete in the Phoenix Fall Classic held at the University of Chicago (NCAA DII). This mid-season meet put LC swimmers up against several competitive four-year programs. The Lynx men finished 6th place out of 12 teams beating 3 NCAA DII Schools, and 3 NCAA DIII Schools. The Lady Lynx finished in 10th place out of 13 teams beating two NCAA DII Schools and one NCAA DIII School.

Colleen Ferguson (Marshal Islands) led the way for the LC women. Ferguson was the top point’s scorer placing in all 3 individual events (100 Free, 100 back, 50 Free). She once again broke the school record in the 50 yard backstroke event with a time of 28.64. Macoy Neinas (Sturgeon Bay, WI)) was the top point scorer for the men taking 3rd place in the 200 IM with a time of 154.67.

Lincoln Head Coach Johnathan Jordan was happy with the results of the mid-season rest meet. “Everyone on the team earned a season best time during the meet,” said Jordan. “Many of the athletes earned a lifetime best time as well. These times should set us up well to have some athletes ranked very highly among NJCAA swimmers.”

The Lynx will be in action after the Thanksgiving break on December 2nd at the Ted Erikson Fall invite on the Campus of Illinois Institute of Technology.
