COFFEY TALK
"We finished up the Gamecock Invite with some really good swims. Three day meets are tough and we battled today. This is the midway point in the season and I am very happy where we are as a team. The whole meet was a good experience for the team. Two school records were broken and many personal bests were set. Our main focus now is the ASUN Championships." -- head coach Ian Coffey
