"Overall, the meet was really good," said Head Coach Joe Spahn. "The girls were very resilient throughout the whole meet. For this being a meet that was intended as a midseason meet, where a lot of other teams across the country swim indoors, what our girls did in just two hours was impressive. We raced well, and are ready to have the month's worh tof training before getting back to competing on January fifth."
