COFFEY TALK 
"It's great going to the NIC. It's a postseason meet that we like to go to so we can see if we can swim some more top times to finish out the year. I'm very happy with Aydan Horrigan's 400 individual medley being the fourth fastest time in school history, and then Victoria Torres followed up by breaking the school record in the 100 breaststroke, which is great to see on her last breaststroke swim of the year. All-in-all it was a good way to cap off the season. I was very happy with how we did things and it just makes us look forward to what we can do next season." -- head coach Ian Coffey
