For a second straight weekend, the Runnin' Bulldogs swim team competed in Charlotte, as last weekend, the men's team competed in a dual meet against Queens University.
Gardner-Webb started tonight's meet off strong, as the Runnin' Bulldogs took second (1:37.41) and third (1:40.04) in the 200 free relay. Wingate University just touched out GWU in the first event of the meet, as they finished just .21 ahead of the Runnin' Bulldogs.

Toth had two more impressive swims on the evening, as she took second in the 200 back and swam leadoff in the 400 medley relay that also finished in second place. The 200 backstroke was one of the best swims so far this season by the freshman, as she entered the event with a seed time of 2:15.00 and improved her time by nearly eight seconds (2:07.32).
