Straight from the Pool Deck:
Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama
"Wes and Erik continued their strong seasons with huge swims in the 100 Fly today. It's been fun to watch them push each other day in and day out. Kudos to Wes for another podium finish tonight! Caleb had an awesome 400 IM this morning and backed it up with another strong one this evening. In the 200 Free, Josh and Jake were seeded to score 12 points tonight. I challenged them to score 20 and they came up with 23! It was a great way to end Day 3."
