What Head Coach Anne Goodman James Said
"Mid-season meets are a great opportunity for fast swimming and competitive diving. Our divers have needed some strong competition, and they got that here."
 
"With just a minor two-day rest for the swimmers, we were able to turn in some impressive times, including several season bests and a few lifetime-best performances."
 
"With prelims and finals, it's a lot of racing in a few days. This meet was a great balance of strong teams from all three divisions for outstanding competition, and still a realistic opportunity of making the finals. We raced bravely and showed a lot of grit."
