Ain’t nothin changed but the weather. Blue Hens and Tribe coming in second yet again and the Seahawks bringing both trophies back home to the beach where they belong. The Dave Allen dynasty days are in full swing in Wilmington and theres no end in sight

who’s going to beat them? Delaware is out of the conference and no one else is even close. The freshmen class coming in is good and theres still more than enough strength to take the title back to where it belongs

Sounds like W&M fans forget that it’s swimming AND diving ๐Ÿ˜‚

Seahawks living rent-free in the Tribe’s head. Trophies belong on the beach, sorry.

You should mention that W&M women would’ve won but they don’t have a dive team.

Interesting to see the difference diving can make at conference championships. W&M women outswam and outscored the Seahawks, but without any divers for the Tribe, ultimately UNCW Swim and Dive beat W&M Swim.

Looks like W&M won the swim meet but without a dive team they came up short
