Head Coach Jason Owen stated, “I never could have imagined a better day for our seniors, families, and alumni. The athletes performed with heart in front of our biggest home crowd in history and lit up the place. I want to give a special thanks to Washington University for making their facility available on short notice and to the University of Nebraska at Omaha program for being a class act as our final opponents. The day could not have been possible without the support of the swimming and diving community. It was a bittersweet experience to conclude the last regular season but did not disappoint!”
