Quotable
"As a team, we are really looking forward to our first opportunity to get better. We have been putting in a lot of work in the pool this week, and it has shown already. We are going into this meet not only physically strong but also mentally strong, which is an advantage we have over a lot of teams. We are more than prepared, and we are ready to show our Bulldog strength."
