QUOTING COACH CALDWELL
"For a young team, they raced hard and brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the meet. Definitely shook off some cobwebs with our first racing opportunity since February. I loved how our freshman stepped up, Jessica Ware and Klaudia Holt set a good example in and out of the water as our senior leaders, and for the opportunity to do something they love - race. I cannot wait to get back to work Monday and our schedule eyes on our next racing opportunity."
