"I'm proud of how they compete and represent our program both in and out of the pool. Not just the ladies who made the trip to Florida, but the team as a whole. Over the past three years at CSCAA's we have placed 10th, eighth and now seventh. Each meet has been deeper and faster with new teams joining the invitational.'
'I cannot begin to say enough about our seven seniors: Suvana Baskar, Laurel Bludgen, Paloma Canos Cervera, Logan Kuehne, Sydney Stoll, Jane Umhofer and Molly Yetter. They did everything we asked and helped get the program to where we are today. It's a testament to the building of this program and I'm excited for future years to come." Â
