MEET COMMENTS

• Coach Emma Furnish – It was a great Senior Day! Our seniors left it all in the pool for their last time competing at Bennett Natatorium! This senior class is very special to me for they knew me as their teammate before they so graciously accepted me as their head coach! I just want to thank Anthony Stultz, David Lange, Halle Strege and Lily Hunter for helping me see the fight and drive of this senior class in the classroom and in the pool! They sure are a core group our team will greatly miss! But the show is not overa and we still have work to do before we arrive in Terre Haute for the HCAC Conference Championships in a few weeks.
• David Lange – It was a good meet. We were all cheering everybody on. I think we all had a really good time, especially at the end. My takeaway on my four years is that it's been fun meeting a lot of people. I'm going to miss pancake with the boys and building snowmen. It was a good four years.
• Anthony Stultz – I thought [Saturday] was really great. All around, our team was very successful. We went out there and swam hard. We got some lifetime bests, some season bests. I'm proud of each and every one of them. I would say my senior takeaway is to just enjoy the moment. Always be grateful for the opportunity to swim and that we are far enough removed from the pandemic to have the opportunity to compete.
