QUOTE
“I am impressed with the team's ability to swim so well after a hard couple weeks in the pool and the weight room. We raced well, finished strong and even had some season bests. Congratulations to Ale Sanchez for setting a program record in the 200 Butterfly with 2:09.49. We knew it would be a competitive meet and at every check point we were ahead of schedule against a strong Osprey squad. Thank you to everyone who came out today to support UNC Asheville Swimming.” – head coach Elizabeth Lykins
