"This was a really fun meet. When Coach Skelly and I were discussing event lineups, I just wanted to do something that would shake our team up and hopefully let them just have fun and race. I think they delivered! We are still racing really hard and, despite being really beat up from our training, we're executing our races really well. Our next meet is our midseason championship meet. I'm really excited to get to taper our swimmers and see how they are able to race!"
Graham Duncan I Men's and Women's Swimming Head Coach
"Everyone swam super well at this meet and it was great seeing everyone up and cheering. We have had a challenging week of workouts, but everyone showed up and had great swims. I am excited as we get ready for our midseason meet over the next couple of weeks!"
