Quotable:
"We did not perform as well as we could have today in comparison to some of the positive results that we have had in the past month," said Head Coach Lara Preacco." I believe this is due to the great amount of work our swimmers & divers have been putting in the pool and the weight room, however, they will continue to feel more rested as the weekend progresses. As a team, I couldn't ask for more; they are supportive of each other and have the determination to perform daily at practice and the will to win meets. Owl Power!"
