COFFEY TALK
“This was a very good win for us today. I was very happy with the way we swam, a total team effort. They have been training hard for the past few weeks and they’re tired, but today they really got after it. The medley relays set the tone going one and two to start off the meet and we went from there. All the strokes had very good days as well. This was a good way to close out our home meets with a win” —- Head Coach Ian Coffey
