"I am very proud of the way our team got up and raced today," said head coach Evan Anthony. "We wanted to send off the seniors with a high energy meet and end 2025 with some fast racing which we saw tonight. The team continues to excel in racing through the fatigue of training. They always find a way to get up and race hard, which is exciting to see as a coach. Their hard work continues to pay off and will carry us with great momentum into the new year. I am so proud of what the seniors have accomplished in their four years and what is to come in the second half of their season. They will have a lasting impact on this program, and I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done. This group brings the energy day in and day out which creates an environment where we can all push each other but have fun at the same time. I know once they graduate, they will go on to do great things in the world."

Four Marauders travel to Sarasota, Florida Dec 13 for the Open Water Nationals. Millersville then travels to Arcadia after the new year on Jan 10 for another dual meet.
