REACTION FROM COACH EVAN ANTHONY
- On the team's performance: "The team did a great job of competing hard over the course of a three-day meet. It was very exciting to see so many season and lifetime best swims, along with movement on our all-time top 10 list. This meet was a great indicator of the direction we are headed in for the rest of the year. With this being the halfway point in our season, we will take these performances and use them to push us through the next couple months. We are in a great spot as a program and I am excited to see what we can achieve as the season continues."
- On goals for the rest of the season: "We will continue working as a team to make each other successful in and out of the pool. We have a highly motivated group who is capable of really great things as the season progresses. As we head into the second half of the season, we will continue training hard to help reach all of our individual and team goals. With lots of swims to look back at so far this season, we can now change a few things around in training to maximize their potential. We will continue to have fun and work hard which will lead to great things in the coming months."
- Millersville returns to dual meet competition on Friday, Dec. 12 at Lock Haven.
