[Women's Swimming] Pennington named NAIA All-American

Behind her outstanding efforts in the 100 and 200 yard breaststroke events, Third-Team All-Mid-South Conference honoree finished off her season with a big-time billing -- NAIA All-American. The senior was one of 154 swimmers named to the official NAIA All-American list Thursday afternoon, according to national officials.

Pennington, who finished fourth of 16 competitors in the 100 yard breaststroke at the Mid-South Conference Championships in Kingsport, Tenn., finished with a time of 1:08.36 to post her best overall swimming time of the season in the event. In doing so, Pennington bested her previous time by nearly four full seconds -- and came within eight-tenths of a second of earning Third-Team All-MSC honors.
