COFFEY TALK
"As we get towards the end of the conference championships, day three really shows the training of the team. We put a lot of times in the top-ten with the 100 breaststroke. We had three butterflyers swim fast at finals as well. In the 100 breaststroke final, both
Victoria Torres and
Ashley Kirby broke the school record and went one-for-two with Kirby finishing in 1:02.85. Our 800 freestyle relay swam a great race to cap off the night. We are looking forward to finishing the championship with fast swims tomorrow." -- head coach
