"It was nice to be back at home racing," Georgia Southern Head Swimming & Diving Coach Laura Thomas said. "We lined our girls up in some different events today, and they all came out and did well. We have been working really hard, both in the pool and the weight room, and are excited to swim West Florida next week in Pensacola. Then, we can rest and start sharpening things up for our conference meet in Athens on February 14-17."
