From the Pool Deck with Coach Hagy
"This was a great meet for our team, getting to compete against the best in the conference! We've been battling injury and illness this week and today was a great showing of what they can do even when they aren't feeling their best. To have personal bests at just our second meet of the season is huge! We're looking forward to some more NESCAC competition tomorrow."
