LC to honor its national champs

Limestone College will honor its 2008 NCAA Division II national champions during the Lady Saints basketball home opener today. Limestone will recognize Dan Scanlan, the 184-pound wrestling national champion, and the national champion men's swimming 200 freestyle relay team of Craig Jordens, Chris Harrigan, Anders Melin, and Goran Majlat.

The presentation of the national championship rings will take place at halftime of the Limestone women's basketball game against Mars Hill. Tip-off is slated for 6 p.m.
