"Sunday was a great end to a truly special weekend. For the meet, we wound up posting 18 new personal best times, and that doesn't even come close to counting all the season best times. This final day was highlighted by yet another school record falling. This weekend truly was a special one for me. It's a pleasure getting to watch our swimmers compete and support each other. I feel like this weekend was a great step forward for our culture and a great step forward for our progress this season. Now we get to catch our breath this week and get back to it to finish out the semester strong!"
