Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Adam Epstein said, "As we talked about last night, we wanted to come out with energy this morning, and our team definitely did that. To win all four relays today (two per gender) is an amazing accomplishment against some great competition. We still have a lot of work to do, but for both genders to start the season 3-0 is a tremendous confidence booster. Kentucky has been good to us, but our team is ready to back home to Florida and the sunshine."
