LIBERTY, MO. – The Lewis women's swimming team returned from a break of more than three weeks on Wednesday (Dec. 17) in a dual meet at Great Lakes Valley Conference foe William Jewell. The women fell to the Cardinals 142-79.
 
William Jewell's pool is a 25-meter pool so the events were in meters as opposed to yards like at the Lewis Pool.
 
The Flyers opened the meet with a victory in the 800 meter freestyle relay. Freshman Caitlin Krull (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg), sophomore Courtney Duy (Buckeye, Ariz./Millennium), senior Katie Hallenbeck (Plano, Ill./Plano) and sophomore Sarah Cameron (Brownstone, Mich./Carlson) swam a time of 8:57.77.

Cameron returned later to win the 200 meter breaststroke, touching the wall in 2:45.26. Junior Montana Clasby (Cedar Falls, Iowa/Cedar Falls) swam the 50 meter breaststroke in a time of 35.55 to win the event. Krull had Lewis' best performance in the 800 freestyle, stopping the clock in 9:44.46, good for third place.
 
Sophomore Brittany Kamper (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) swam the 100 backstroke in a time of 1:09.10, finishing in second place. Duy finished second in the 100 freestyle with a performance of 1:02.53.

"Brittany had a good meet as did Montana and Caitlin," Lewis head coach Roger Karns said. "William Jewell is a significantly improved team. They get better each year. You have to admire their work ethic and team pride."

The Flyers and Cardinals will face off again on Thursday (Dec. 18) in a morning meet. First event is set for 10:30 a.m.
