Rickey's Reactions
"It was a great meet today. The girls have really stepped it up in practices in the last couple weeks and you can really tell that there starts, turns, and finishes have been much better. The endurance and the speed are there and now all we need is the rest. We are two weeks out from MAC Championships, and we are really look forward to that meet"
