Head coach Ellie Monobe said: “I was very impressed with our Waves today in a short sprint meet. East Bay has a very strong sprint program so it’s been nice to get a preview of what to expect in conference, especially in our relays. I thought our 800 free relay did a very stellar job compared to last weekend. Our 200 frees have been kind of a weak point for our program in the last year, so seeing that come together in the mid-distance free group has been very exciting. I thought Charli Sunahara had a phenomenal meet being able to throw down some fast times right now. Lindsay Hemming going 27.9 was the fastest split for our team right now, and after doing the relay right before was really exciting. We’re looking forward to seeing some more swimming tomorrow and some real events. Overall, we’re very pleased with the performance today.”
