Quotable

Head Coach Jeanne Fleck

"We smashed the 400 medley relay record by two seconds so that was awesome. Manuela broke the 100 Breast record twice and we had a ton of personal best times. Our flyers were amazing and Kim just missed the school record swimming right next to Zofi. We just have to keep moving up. Tomorrow is the big day for us."
