FROM THE POOL DECK (Head Coach Adam Schneider)
"Great wins for both teams today. We had a lot of very encouraging swims Joe Sparshott in the 200 Butterfly & Delaney Klaus in the 50 free both stand out some of our best swims today. Overall we looked to be exactly where we want to be heading into our winter invite next weekend at TCNJ."
