Christensen's Corner
"Looking at our schedule, we knew this would be a challenging meet," said head coach Josh Christensen. "It's the time of year where you've got to be putting in meaningful work all week and still get up and race on the weekends. We have a lot respect for UNI and knew they would be tough in their home pool. We weren't perfect today, but definitely proud of how we stepped up and got it done."
