Coach's Quote
On the Battle of I-75: "I'm disappointed that we lost, but I'm happy with the way the girls performed. I think this whole year we've been swimming really well and it's going to pay off at MACs. All of their training and all their hard work will show off. I'm excited for it, our focus is to be the best team at MACs.
On seniors Burnard, Fergus, Lemke, Ruddock: "They've been special. They've given everything they have to the program and the team. Each day they come in, work as hard as they can, and they never bat an eye about being tired. They just come in and work, they're workhorses. They have really raised the level of the team and the program."
