Quote from Coach Ryder: “This week we talked about coming together as a team. That it’s not about winning or losing a dual meet but that we put our best foot forward and race. We race for our team and this was truly a team victory. From event winners, to 3 places to diving. Every single point made a difference. We knew we had a chance to do something we haven’t done in a very long time today. The team came together and swam and dove lights out. I am so incredibly proud of their effort, their attitudes, and the energy they brought to do something special as a group. I couldn’t be happier for this team tonight!”
The Blugolds will be back at home on Saturday, October 30th when they host St. Norbert in a nonconference dual. Meet is scheduled to begin at 1 PM.
