Quotes From Coaches
 
  • "We started out the evening session improving on some fantastic morning swims in the 500 free. We carried that momentum to the 200 IM and 50 frees, culminating with Eydis (Kolbensdottir) silver medal and school record. Our 200 free relay was a top 10 performance, so something to hang our hats on. The conference is getting faster and deeper, but today proves that we are up for the challenge and looking forward to tomorrow."
  • "We also had a big help from our divers getting into the action during consolations earlier today. They remain crucial as we continue to fight to keep our position."
Head Coach, Anthony Randall
  • "Our divers really stepped up today, especially in the B finals. I'm proud of how they performed, and it was awesome to see them take the top three spots."
-Head Diving Coach, Chloe Smith
