The Lenoir-Rhyne Men’s and Women’s Swimming Teams announced the signing of 13 student-athletes for the 2015-16 season.
“I am very excited about the incoming women’s class,” said Lenoir-Rhyne Head Men’s and Women’s Swimming Coach Paul Schiffel. “With such a big class coming and only one graduating swimmer, this class stands to make an immediate impact. These young ladies are outstanding students as well and will do a great job in maintaining our focus on academic excellence.”
“Our men’s class is going be very exciting to work with,” added Schiffel. “We have young men coming in who will make an immediate name for themselves at Lenoir-Rhyne. Between whom we have returning and adding this class, our men’s team looks to have its strongest class in school history.”
Lenoir-Rhyne next competes in the four-day Nova Southeastern University Shark Invitational in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., beginning on Thursday.
