What Coach Said
Head Coach Nate Kellogg
"Top to bottom we had a strong two days of racing and competing. I was happy with how we performed Saturday morning, when we were tired, which simulated how it will be at the CCSA Championship meet. Our relays were really strong and Mykala (Arnold) resetting the pool record in the 100 Back for the second time this season was awesome. She's swimming with a lot of confidence right now, which is exciting."
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.
