Men’s Team Starts Season with a Win!

The Lincoln men’s team had their first meet of the season Tuesday (11/25) at home against Carroll. It proved to be an exciting one too. The meet had four lead changes, including a tie at one point! Heading into the 400 Free Relay, the teams were in a “winner take all” situation. The Rails prevailed, swimming a fast 3:37.02! That’s just a second off last season’s conference meet time!

Final Score
Lincoln: 91
Carroll: 79
