WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.— Miami University women’s swimming and diving team opened up its 2014-15 season with a loss at Purdue one Friday evening at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center, 199-94.
There were no individual event wins for the RedHawks, but sophomore Stephanie LeMire led the way for Miami with three individual second-place events in the 100 breast (1:04.09), 200 breast (2:19.86) and 200 IM (2:07.25). She also was a part of the second-place finishing 200-yard medley relay team with sophomore Elise Campbell, junior Emma Szczupakiewicz and junior Sara Krueger. They finished with a time of 1:43.48.
Elise Campbell was one of five swimmers to earn second-place points for the RedHawks. She finished second in the 100 free with a time of 52.38.
