Head coach
Casey Smith was happy with her women's team's overall performance post Christmas break. "I am very proud of their work in the water," Smith said. "They pushed themselves and were able to accomplish a lot together. Along with the opportunity to swim many different individual events, we were able to mix up our relays a bit, and start to get the info we need for championship season. It was a great meet and we finished well in our last home event of this season."
