The Deep End With Coach Kellogg
"We are excited to host College of Charleston and Savannah College of Art and Design. Being at home provides some level of comfort for us. We typically perform very well at home, but both programs have some good swimmers and divers and this meet will be tough competition."

Two Pool Records Set At Gardner-Webb
In a meet that historically has been very close, the Eagles claimed victory over Gardner-Webb 145.5-112.5.  Lauren Campbell set a new pool record in the 200 fly with a time of 2:06.38 while teammate Christina Moran set the pool record in the 200 back in 2:05.07.

3 Eagles Invited To Compete At Winter Nationals
The exclusive Winter Nationals competition requires an invite based on specific cuts.  This year, 3 Eagles were invited to compete.  Elaina Lanson, Abigail Lavallin and Christina Moran did Georgia Southern justice on a national stage as they each achieved Top-100 showings.  Lanson finished tied for 56th in the 50 free with a time of 23.73.  Lavallin was 90th in the 100 breast in 1:05.81, while Moran touched in 2:01.78 in the 200 back to manage a 67th place finish.  

Senior Day
The Eagles will host their final home meet of the season at the RAC Aquatics Center on January 24th against University of North Florida.  The meet will include senior day recognition prior to competition as the Eagles honor Rikki Babuka, Allyn Case, Megan Heller, Katlyn Jones, Amber Juncker, Elaina Lanson, Abigail Lavallin, Hannah Rogers, Catie Schmitz, and Sarah Schwartz.
