WHAT THE COACHES SAID
Head Coach Nate Kellogg
"Today was full of inspired performances. We are fighting for every race and racing tough. I'm beyond proud of our swimmers and divers for their effort today. Tomorrow, the last day of the meet, every team will be tired but we have to find a way to push through and finish strong. The last day is all about guts."
