Former Madisonville-North Hopkins standout swimmer Emile Ewing wrapped up her collegiate career in impressive style with Auburn University (Ala.) during the 2009 NCAA Swimming Championships, which ended Saturday.
Ewing, a senior, swam the second leg of Auburn's 200-yard freestyle relay as the team established a school-record time of 1:27.15 on March 19. The time broke the group's previous record by more than a second set during last month's Southeastern Conference Championships.
For the team's effort, the four swimmers earned All-American status.
Individually, Ewing finished the 50 free in a career-best :22.44, taking 22nd in the preliminaries.
The one-time Lady Maroon also claimed 23rd in the 200 backstroke and 32nd in the 200 free.
As a team, Auburn finished the meet in sixth place.

Murray State University senior Angela Mullins' career also came to a close during the weekend as the Racers fell in the second round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament.
Mullins, a Hopkins County Central graduate, collected three rebounds, two points and a steal in Murray's 87-49 loss to the University of Mississippi on Sunday.
The Racers advanced to play Ole Miss after beating the University of Arkansas at Little Rock 67-65 on Friday. During the contest, Mullins recorded four points and two rebounds. The win marked Murray's second victory in school history in the WNIT.
Murray (23-9) lost in the Ohio Valley Conference Championship to Austin Peay State University, but earned a berth in the WNIT for winning the OVC regular-season title
Mullins started each of the team's 32 contests. The former Lady Storm player averaged 5.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while racking up a team-best 27 blocks on the season. She also made 51 percent of her shots from the field, a team-high.
