Christensen’s Corner
“We did well with the quick turn around and bus trip today. The times weren’t necessarily all there, but we competed and stayed focused through the long weekend and that was what we were really looking for” Head Coach Josh Christensen said. “One highlight was the 400 Free relay at the end of the meet, where we went 1-2-3. Loved seeing our whole team competing all the way until the end. We’ve got 12 days until the Purdue Invite, which will provide us a format more similar to the conference championship meet. It will be a great opportunity to keep learning and growing as a team.”
