Last Time Out
The swim team closed out its regular season a few weeks ago with a dominating 218-94 win against North Florida on Senior Day. The 218 points marked the most points scored in program history. The previous team best was 214, which the Bulldogs scored during the 2014-15 season against Lenoir-Rhyne.
The regular-season finale pushed the Bulldogs into their final phase of training and swimming taper.
About the Meet
This season's championship meet will carry from Feb. 14-17, which includes seven total sessions. Each day includes a preliminary session, where the fastest 24 swimmers of each event will swim again in finals, and the finals session will be the only scored portion each night.
The Bulldogs ended last year's championships with 639 points, which was 133 more than the 2015-16 squad.
Quotable
The four-day event will mark the final collegiate meet for the team's eight seniors, but there's still a lot of excitement building up amongst the squad, especially for the eight Bulldogs.
"Our team has put in an incredible amount of work this year, and I can't wait to see it all pay off at conference," said senior backstroker Stephanie Smith. "I'm so excited to finish my swimming career alongside such amazing and talented teammates. I couldn't be more proud to be a Bulldog!"
