QUOTES
"I'm glad we had the opportunity to compete today. The December meets are always a mixed bag of results. We had some great performances, and we learned some things we need to work on.
 
Overall, I was pleased with how many personal bests were set. What's great is we compete again in 7 days at the Ocean Breeze facility. We'll take the lessons of today and apply them to that meet." – Head Coach Mike Nelson
