Emile Ewing added another first-place honor to her collegiate résumé when the Auburn University (Ala.) swimmer helped her 400-yard freestyle relay team triumph in a dual meet against the University of Texas on Jan. 8.
Ewing, who swam at Madisonville-North Hopkins, carried the third leg as her relay team defeated its closest competition by seven seconds. Auburn claimed first through fourth place in the event with two Texas teams not qualifying.
In addition to the relay win, Ewing picked up a pair of third-place finishes. The senior swimmer participated on the 400-yard medley relay team, which earned two points and swam individually in the 50-yard freestyle (:23.47). Ewing missed a first-place win by .46 seconds.
Despite Ewing's solid races, the seventh-ranked Tiger women's team fell short to the No. 4 Longhorns, 129-109.

Kari Jo Harris and the Lee University Lady Flames (Tenn.) collected their eighth straight win last week when the squad defeated Brenau University (Ga.) 80-63 on Saturday.
After the latest victory, Lee moved up one spot to No. 5 in the NAIA national rankings released Monday.
During the Lady Flames' most recent game, Harris, a 2008 Hopkins County Central graduate, hit 2-of-3 shots from beyond the 3-point arc and ended the evening with eight points, two rebounds and one assist.
The win improved Lee's seasonal mark to 13-3 and 5-1 in the Southern States Athletic Conference, placing the team in a three-way tie for first place.
Harris and the Lady Flames will have a chance to separate themselves from the pack because the squad will play each of the other two first-place teams this week. Lee will play at Berry College (Ga.) at 5 p.m. today and will return home at 4 p.m. Saturday for a matchup with Shorter College (Ga.).
Angela Mullins, a 2003 Central grad, continued to excel in her senior campaign at Murray State University as the Racers snatched up back-to-back victories last week.
Mullins posted a well-rounded game in the team's 82-73 win against Tennessee State University on Jan. 8 with seven points, four rebounds and two blocks.
The lead changed 17 times before Murray eventually pushed past the visiting Tigers. The game marked the Racers' first home Ohio Valley Conference contest of the season.
Two days later, Mullins recorded six points and one block in her team's 87-77 conquest of Austin Peay State University (Tenn.). The Racers led by as many 16 with 2:51 remaining.
Murray (9-6, 4-1) has won three consecutive games and five of its last six.
