Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama
"We're two days into NCAA's and so far so good! We had a great 800 Free relay last night that moved up from its seeded position to score some valuable points and Phoebe performed great in the 200 IM this evening to place 4th! She's really progressed nicely in that event this year. Both events bode well for the next two days!"
GO OFF QUEEN!
