Head coach
Korey McCulley said after the meet, "Overall, I'm very pleased with our return to form after winter break. We look to be in good shape coming off the break, and several swimmers raced near their most recent best times from our mid-season invitational just before the break. Our relay finishes and exchanges were sharp, and we split our races very well according to our race strategies. I'm very excited to begin fine-tuning for the ODAC Championships in the next few weeks."
The Pride will swim one more time before the ODAC Championships on January 25th. The meet will be inside the Reynolds Center pool at 12:00 pm.
