QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH MIKE SMIECHOWSKI
"It was a great meet for our men. I saw a lot of things that are good going into our mid-season championships. We raced a top-tier program and won a few races. We have lots to build on."
Â
"Diving picked up two huge wins and continue to improve each week. It's great to see our divers compete with confidence."
