What they’re saying

“Our team worked incredibly hard this season and I'm proud of every person who contributed to our third-place finish. The 4A (division) was absolutely stacked, but we used that as motivation to push ourselves even harder. I'm so proud of our girls for taking third against such strong competition.”

“To be honest, day one was a rough day. The competition was hard and I hadn't been swimming my best. I added lots of time and the pressure was a lot. I knew I had to keep going and finish day two out strong for the finals. Knowing I gave it my all at the end of each race helped me keep going. It felt amazing to know our relays put every last ounce of energy in to our races to get on the podium.”
