"Today was another great day of racing for our team," said Head Coach Jon Carlson. "The men just put on a truly outstanding performance swim after swim. On the women's side, we knew it was going to be close. It was a back and forth battle. Before the last event, we decided to split the relay teams to try to go for first and second and seal the victory. Everyone posted season-bests in their leg of the relay, and it was an exciting finish to an outstanding meet by both teams."
