"After a good morning we settled into the night session with hopes of holding our spot on the Women and making a chase on the mens side.
Once again our distance crew lead the way on both sides, setting several life best with James bringing home another MAAC Championship. Momentum carried on to the 200 Back with Quinns Bronze medal. We got a big boost from our sprinters in the 100 free, many of them moving up. Our breaststrokers held pace with April and Dylan setting two school records one a mere seconds old. Not to be out done, our 200 Fliers were up next with Sabrina and Kellen both setting two new records.
With the relays up next, our Women finished with a top 5 time in school history while the men did what they needed to secure our runner up finish.
We simply had an amazing session to cap off a wonderful season."
-Head Coach, Anthony Randall
