Ebeling’s Thoughts
I’m proud of our girls for stepping up, racing hard, and supporting one another for the second day in a row. We were able to swim some different events today which really highlighted some of the technical things we need to work on moving forward. I’m looking forward to implementing some of these things into our training to see some more improvements in our future competitions.
What’s Ahead?
The Bears are now off until October 6 when they will face Seattle on the road for their first WAC meet of the year. UNC and SU will start their competition at 11 am MT.
