Coaches Quote
I am really proud of how this team came out and raced today. It was a long bus ride up, and we lifted hard yesterday, and they still raced for their teammates! The men's team got a taste of victory today, and you can see in their eyes their hunger for more. Individually Varvara really stepped up earning a victory in both Butterfly's and it's great to see Nick Oh and Danny Hartley really get after the backstrokes today. Josh Harriott stepped up once again coming from behind to win both the 1000 and the 400 IM. Looking forward to seeing how these kids can come back tomorrow at the Thomas Invite"
