"Our women were resilient today," said Head Coach Amanda Caldwell. "Loved how our divers showed up this week. Anya came so close on both boards to A finals and so proud of our freshmen divers under pressure in a new setting.
All of our swimmers came back from this morning and swam so much stronger. Could not be happier with all of their swims. Especially our 200 flyers who were gritty taking those races out so fast."
