WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Led by two individual wins a piece from seniors Emilie Kramer (Wellsboro, Pa./Wellsboro), Callan Jordan (Hurley, N.Y./Western Academy of Beijing) and freshman Jake Booth (Wallingfor, Pa./Strath Haven), the Lycoming College swim teams won 14 events against Middle Atlantic Conference opponent Wilkes University on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 1, at the Wyoming Valley Catholic Youth Center, as the women's team posted a 122-65 and the men fell, 109-96, in a meet that came down to the final race.
 
The Lycoming women improve to 3-3 on the year and the men fall to 2-4. The Wilkes men moved to 5-1 overall and the women fell to 2-4.
 
Kramer took first in the 200-yard breaststroke with a swim of 2:32.27 and the 200-yard individual medley in 2:18.31. She also teamed up with sophomore McKenna Zeller (White Haven, Pa./Holy Redeemer), sophomore Cara Zortman (York, Pa./York Suburban)  and freshman Devon Kaiser (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) to take first in the 400-yard medley relay with a swim of 4:10.00.
 
The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Zortman, senior Amanda Waldo (Katy, Texas/Katy), junior Elena Pikounis (Marriottsville, Md./Marriotts Ridge) and Zeller also finished first with a swim of 3:59.84.
