Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama
"Coming off a big break, that was a good way to kickoff the second half of our season. Today was the first meet of three for us to fine tune our racing and move from a big training block into competition as we get ready for the Conference and NCAA Championships. Like every meet there were numerous positives, but also a lot for us to improve on as we move forward."
