Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama
'It was great to end our championships with two Honorable Mention All-American performances with Josh's 1650 Free and Taz on Platform. Both have worked really hard this year and it was nice to see their commitment and dedication pay off. With his performance, Taz is the first Badger male to score in 3 individual events at NCAA's in a long time! The 7 Badger Men who competed this past week have a lot to be proud of and also a lot to look forward to. A big THANK YOU to everyone involved with our program for helping us get to this point in the season. On, Wisconsin!'
