COFFEY TALK
"We swam against three good programs today and getting a win was great for us. This was our fourth meet in as many weeks and we stepped up. Our swimmers are tired but they battled today. Ashley Kirby came through with a big win and everyone played their part. This stretch has prepared us for the mid-season invite in a few weeks." --- Head Coach Ian CoffeyÂ
