COFFEY TALK
"Day one of the Gamecock Invite went well and we dropped a lot of times. In the finals we had some really good swims with
Kayla Daley finishing with a personal best in the 200 IM and winning the D Final heat. Having four swimmers come back in the 50 free showed our depth in the event. Our relays were solid to start and end the session, now we turn our focus to day two tomorrow." --- Head Coach
