"Today was a fun celebration. We're in the beginning of our preparation for the conference championships in two weeks so fitness-wise we're in a tough spot, but we're starting to see the fruits of all of our work over the course of this season. We also used today to celebrate and recognize our seniors and it was a fitting send off. Our seniors swam well and it was great to be able to send them off after their last home meet in the Luce Center. They've given a lot to this program over the past four years and today felt like a good culmination of that time. Now we get into our more intense preparation for the end of the season and we're excited to experience our first championship meet with the SCAC!"
Graham Duncan| Head Swimming Coach
"The meet against Centre was an amazing way to close out the dual meets of the 2025-2026 season. Everyone on our team has been working so hard and it's always incredibly rewarding to see your teammates continue to challenge themselves even towards the end of a long season! Centre's team was tough competition but I'm so proud of the ways everyone showed up and encouraged each other. Having teammates who remind you of what's important and who you're swimming for helps create an uplifting atmosphere. We were also able to celebrate our seniors and all that they've given to the team which made this meet feel extra special!"
