"We are excited about this week's MAC championship meet. The championship meet is a celebration of all the hard choices that each student-athlete made throughout the season to get to this opportunity of representing BGSU at the conference level. The team has trained extremely hard, they have given a lot of themselves to the goal of being one of the best teams in the conference. We have high hopes but understand that we can only control ourselves and what we want to control is our efforts, our emotions, and our energy."
