Coach Preacco's Take

"Our swimmers and divers had a strong meet this weekend," said head swimming & diving coach Lara Preacco. "They executed their races well and pushed each other to perform to their maximum. After the first day, they were able to fix a few race strategies and come back to finish with a strong, fast meet. As a team, I couldn't ask for more, as they came together and competed their hearts out for each other. They went out fast and had a blast!"
