STRAIGHT FROM THE POOL DECK
Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama: " That was one of our best sessions in a long time! The 500 Women were incredible highlighted by Paige winning a Big Ten championship! That young lady has had to overcome a lot this year and we're proud and excited for her. Our 200 IM group all bettered their seeds and the 50 free group backed up their strong swims from this morning. Our 400 Medley finished the night with another NCAA A cut and podium finish. All in all, some really great swimming! We'll need to keep our foot on the gas tomorrow!"
