REACTION FROM COACH EVAN ANTHONY:
“The team came into this meet energized ready to preform after another great week of training. Many of the performances were season-best times which I am thrilled with. We also had four more athletes swim their way to a PSAC cut. The team has been working extremely hard and their progression over the past few weeks has shown that. We will now be using these races to fine tune things we need to work on in preparation for Kutztown in two weeks and mid-season in four weeks.”
