"I'm proud of my seniors," said head coach Shawn Hendrix. "They came in and performed well beyond the call of duty for four years. They are exceptional people and I appreciate them for their hard work, in both the classroom and in the pool. We will miss them, but their legacy will follow them in these next few years."
Junior Andrea Perry was the only individual winner for the Lady Aggies, taking home first place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:05.94.
The Lady Aggies fared very well in relays, with a first and second place finish. In the 200-yard medley, N.C. A&T turned in a time of 1:56.85. The hosts won the final home relay event of the season, the 200-yard freestyle medley, with a time of 1:46.41.
Following the meet, students and fans were treated to a special relay race. Members of the Aggie football and baseball teams took on the swimming team, helped by an eager Chancellor James Renick.
Renick, who swam the anchor leg for the swim team, cruised to an easy finish, sending the crowd into cheers.
"We loved the participation from our crowd and our fellow student athletes," said Clinkscales. "University support is so important to us, especially when we are at home. It was really exciting to see our Chancellor get involved. That shows us how much Aggie Pride really means to him."
"Hopefully our other athletic teams will get in on the competition next year," said Hendrix. "We want as much support as possible, and we thank the football and baseball teams for getting it started."
The Lady Aggies will close the season on Feb. 16-19 at the Northeast Conference Championships in Landover, Md.
