"Our distance and sprints athletes all put in a lot of hard work this fall so I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of their labors this spring," said head coach Lauren Floris. "For most of our athletes this will be their first full, traditional season with the Waves due to the COVID interruptions in 2020 and 2021 so everyone is excited to get this rolling and to see what they are capable of."
