COFFEY TALK
"Both sessions of the Osprey Invite were a real indication of where our program is at this early in the season. A lot of things stood out to me this weekend. From top to bottom, everyone stepped up and raced hard. The attitude of the team was really positive and it showed in the water. Kaley Daley, Aydan Horrigan, Victoria Torres, and many, many others had great weekends. This is only the start as we move forward in our season, we now shift our focus to our upcoming meets. We'll learn from this and keep improving. I am truly proud of the performance from the team." ---- Head Coach Ian Coffey
