Rickey's Reactions
"I am extremely pleased with how the girls refocused after the 50 Freestyle and brought home the victory. Each swim got better and better and dive was amazing, as well. Overall, it was a great team effort top to bottom, and I look forward to going on the road tomorrow and do the same things."
