Quote from Head Coach Diego Santos
"Overall we had a very good meet. It was a very long day and the team embraced the challenges and competed at a high level. We faced two of the best teams in the nation for both men and women and that is always very exciting. They had lots of really good swims, but most importantly lots of opportunities to keep improving and keep learning from. Looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings and how we can continue building the path to the success we want, and will accomplish."
