Head Coach
Ellie Monobe said: "We had a solid showing at LMU today. We have been working really hard in the pool focusing on details and it's starting to come together. Standout swims by
Olivia Kayye winning the 500 and 100 breast. Freshman
Lindsay Hemming set the tone in the 200 free. The staff is excited that things are coming together, and we are looking forward to our mid-season meet in St. George, Utah, in two weeks."
