Coach Sexton's comments: "I was extremely proud with how we swam this past weekend. We had a really good week of practice, and I think that we came prepared to race. I'm thrilled for our women, who swam with tenacity and had some season-bests and huge time drops in both relays. The men dominated the meet from start to finish and refused to lose any event. I feel that the success we experienced this weekend will propel us to succeed in two weeks at the CollegeSwimming.com Classic in Kenosha, Wis. -- by far the largest meet of the season, other than NJCAA nationals."
