Rebecca Hamlyn
Women's Swimming
Rebecca Hamlyn won one event and placed in two others at the UW-Oshkosh Invitational on Dec. 1. The freshman from Cincinnati, Ohio, won the 200-yard butterfly in 2:23.59, which is the third-fastest time in the conference this season. She also took second in the 100 backstroke in 1:05.61 and placed seventh in the 200 freestyle in 2:07.20. She led Lawrence to a fourth-place finish in the team standings despite the fact the Vikings didn't compete in the afternoon session of the meet due to the blizzard in the area.
