“It’s been a long stretch of racing for the team, and it was a surprise to see as many season bests today,” said head coach Katelyne Herrington. We had three personal bests in the 400 IM and came away with some wins against a competitive team. I’m excited for what’s in store for this team at the conference championships.”
