SENIOR DAY COMMENTS

• Matthew Hayward – The meet itself didn't go as well as I wanted, but overall, I'm really happy with how the meet went. I could've executed my dives better, but the atmosphere with everyone there was amazing! Senior Day comes with a lot of bittersweet moments that I will definitely cherish forever. It brings back memories of all the fellow swimmers and divers that competed before us and helped build this amazing program; I can't help but have a sense of accomplishment for what this great group of seniors has done for this program to help build it.
• Cameron Stanley – My 200 freestyle was not my best representation, but my 500 freestyle was good because I'm faster than I was at the midseason meet. Senior Day went really well. I had a lot of fun hanging out with the team.
• Coach Emma Furnish – Happy Senior Day to our seniors! It is such a great day to celebrate! Our athletes came to the pool ready to fight and they got the job done. I was super impressed by the drive from our women's team [on Saturday] and our men's team has yet again set the season win record and finished the season undefeated at home. All in all, I am so proud of this team and I'm excited for what is to come at the HCAC Championships in February.
