SENIOR EVAN KROPF'S COMMENTS

The meet went great. It was Senior Day for us, so we all celebrated our seniors and it was a great day for us to swim fast.

COACH EMMA MAUBACH'S COMMENTS

[Saturday] was a very close meet! I could not be prouder of our team and how much effort they gave, especially our seniors. With this being Senior Day and our seniors' last time swimming in Bennett Natatorium, I just want to say thank you to them and their families for all of their time and hard work. With conference right around the corner, I am so excited to prepare the best we can and leave it all out there in the pool.
