Myers, Beagles aid Carroll girls’ swim team against Lewis Central

Although South Central Calhoun does not field a swimming team, the Titans do have some athletes who are pretty good when it comes to freestyle, breaststrokes and swimming relays.

SCC’s Emma Myers, Ashley Beagle and Ellie Beagle fared well for the Carroll girls’ swimming team in their meet against Lewis Central, held last Thursday at the Carroll Recreation Center, winning five events all together.

Despite the stellar individual performances, Lewis Central edged out the Tigers, 85-84.

Next up for Carroll will be a trip to Des Moines on Thursday, when the Tigers swim against Des Moines Lincoln.
