Swimmers stuck at starting block

   The Dons continue to swim against the tide as its four-person roster was declared ineligible to compete in the first meet of the season Friday due to paperwork problems.

   It has been a bitter start to what has already been a rocky season.

   Head Coach Michelle Vos is taking over this year for John Wright after he resigned under short notice, leaving Vos with no time to recruit swimmers for the season.     

   Vos believes her high school coaching background, coming from St. Joseph's,  will help her recruit some talented athletes for next season.
