REACTION FROM COACH EVAN ANTHONY:
- On his first graduating senior class: "We have a very special senior class that will be greatly missed. From the day I started at Millersville, they have led by example and been great leaders for the team. I immediately developed a great relationship with them and it is a fun group to be around. I know when they are done with their time at Millersville, they will be highly successful and prepared for the next step in life. I am thankful for everything they have done for the program, and excited we could celebrate them today before the meet."
- The culture and work effort of the team so far this season: "This is a team that will put in the work and give us everything they have every day. Their work ethic in practice is top notch and the way they have been performing is reflective of that. This is a team that wants to preform for each other and will do what it takes to move the team in the right direction. The culture they have created has provided an environment to be successful in and out of the pool. It has been a great start to the year and I am excited to see what this team is capable of in the rest of the season."
