COACHES CORNER
 
"We had a really good showing for our first meet post-training trip," said Head Coach R.C. Weston. "The guys worked hard all week in Florida and to have a quick turnaround and swim and dive as well as they did was impressive. We knew what we were up against for this meet and just like every tough contest we've faced this year, our guys maintained their focus on what we are working towards. It was exciting to see their energy and effort and we walked away with a few lifetime best times."
