NOTES & QUOTES
"Swimming on the road in a meter pool presented a tough challenge for us today. Despite the testing conditions the team showed tremendous focus throughout the meet. It was encouraging to see them face the challenge presented today putting up solid results.
The men were strong right from the start and never gave the opposition a chance on the scoreboard. The women's meet was close throughout coming down to the last relay. Overall, everyone showed a lot of fight and I am excited about what this type of performance can do for our confidence moving forward."
