Straight from the Pool
"Today was a long day and I'm really proud of the way the guys got behind each other and competed. It's never easy to race at altitude and we definitely felt it as we moved through the meet. Denver is a very well-coached program and I appreciate them letting us come and race. This was a great way to kick off our training camp and set us up for success later in the semester." - Head Coach Yuri SuguiyamaUp Next
The Badgers will welcome Northwestern for their senior night meet on Saturday, January 25th, beginning at noon in Madison.
