Coach Logan Simpson had this to say "It was a strong meet all around. We've been battling some sickness on both teams, and we saw some very tough performances from so many swimmers. It was awesome to see Noelle and Katie Mullen step up and go 1-2 in the 50 Free, which helped the women's team to another big win over King. You always like to see people step up and perform when the team needs a big swim, and they delivered that.

 

The men's team responded beautifully to our season-opening loss to King. After losing by 72 the first time around, our men cut the deficit to 25 points this time around. We saw so many strong performances and much more aggressive racing across the board. We won one event in each of our first two meets, so to take three wins was a huge step forward -- all three of those were great swims from Micah, Keith, and Danny. I love the progress we're making as a team."
