What the Coaches Say
Head Coach Nate Kellogg
"We did very well coming off a high training load and getting back in the swing of classes this week. The team's goal was to send the seniors off with a great meet and we did that be swimming very well."
Diving Coach David Giambra
"Emma had a solid senior meet. She put together a pair of solid lists with some really good starts to her dives. We will work on the finishes going down the road, but she looks strong headed into championship season."
The meet concludes on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. with the final meets of the three-way meet between the Eagles, Bees and Bulldogs. The Chatham County Aquatic Center will play host to the second day of the meet.
The Eagles visit Davidson next weekend for a two-day four-way meet against the Wildcats, Gardner-Webb and Liberty. The meet starts on Friday, Jan. 22 at 6 p.m.
The 2015-16 Georgia Southern Swimming & Diving season culminates at the CCSA Championships on Feb. 17-20 in Athens, Ga.
