KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. — A seven-time placer at the Presidents' Athletic Conference Swimming Championships last season, Abby Jones was pretty busy.

The Knoch graduate and incoming Westminster College junior hasn't exactly been taking the summer off.

A biology major, Jones is completing her second summer as a lifeguard on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Working for the Kill Devil Hills agency, she was named Rookie Lifeguard of the Year last summer.

This summer, she was named the agency's Lifeguard of the Year. There are 45 lifeguards working the beaches for the company.

A full story will appear in the Butler Eagle.
