COFFEY TALK

"We capped off the week with two new school records and plenty of personal bests. Faith Mutschler started off finals breaking the 1000 free and 1650 free records respectively. It was a great race to a sixth place finish. During the morning session Aydan Horrigan had her personal best in the 200 back and followed up with another in the 1650 free. This was a good week for the program. Many personal bests and times in the top-ten in program history, as well as four school records. The strong swims along with the great attitudes will make us faster next season". -- Head Coach Ian Coffey
