"Today was an unconventional meet! It was fun to swim fast and focus on our racing speed. As our last meet before our midseason invitational, it was cool to do something a little different and get out of our comfort zone. At the end of the day, we still have things to work on, but as we get closer to our first taper meet of the season, I'm happy with where we are. Our women's team is still undefeated and our men's team was able to pick up their first win as well…it's always good to face some good competition and come out on top. I can't wait to see what we do in a couple weeks!"
