STORY - QUOTE
"I really enjoyed getting to watch our team race this morning. It's tough to turn around and do two meets back to back but everyone really stepped up today. We still have some things to work on, but on the whole we're further along than I thought we would be going into our first meet weekend. Excited to continue to train and get back in the pool to race next Friday against Union."
Graham Duncan I Men's and Women's Swimming Head Coach

"I've been here four years, and the energy our Eagles were able to exude in respective individual events as well as on the deck cheering for others, was something different. I am content with my individual performance, and the space that dual meets provide to just rep our competitive spirit helps to soften the pressure of bigger meets."
