COFFEY TALK
"This was a very exciting meet, it came down to the last relay against Little Rock. Our stroke groups stepped up this weekend.
Victoria Torres and
Ashley Kirby had strong swims in the 200 and 100 breaststroke. Everyone played a part and we are only getting better. It was good to spread out the meet over two days to swim events we don't usually race. Time to focus on our next meet and keep training hard this week."--- Head Coach
