Coach Christensen's Corner
"We've been putting in great work the past two weeks in training, so we're excited to get back to racing and using these opportunities to apply what we've been working on in practice," Head Coach
Josh Christensen said. "Friday evening should be a fun meet with Xavier. They have a very good team and look to be swimming quite well this fall. We'll have to step-up and compete. Saturday will give us an opportunity to work on coming back on the 2nd half of a back-to-back and performing well. We won't have any diving Friday or Saturday, but Thursday evening our divers will be competing. They keep getting better each meet, so we're looking forward to supporting them as a team and having an evening that's focused specifically on them."
