Host KMC Wins Pentathalon Swim Meet

This article has been corrected.

Host KMC claimed victory in the Kaiserslautern Kingfish Pentathalon swimming meet Saturday. The final team scores:

KMC 863, Stuttgart 702, Wiesbaden 533, Geilenkirchen 241, Heidelberg 214

Three swimmers – Wiesbaden’s Tyler Peng and Chantel Wynn and Stuttgart’s Edward Hale - won all five of their individual events. That feat is particularly impressive in that a regular meet requires swimmers to compete in three events of their choice, while a pentathalon compels each swimmer to compete in freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke and an individual medley.
