QUOTABLE | HEAD COACH RICK PRATT
"Today was a great learning experience for our group. During the prelim, it was hard to get going for most and our session was a little stale. We had many make it back regardless and tonight our group really attacked every race and swam with amazing energy and grit. It was nice to see us adapt to the challenges in a positive way, especially at the end of the day with that 800 freestyle. As a coach, you live for those moments when a team puts everything on the line for each other, and that was very inspiring to see."
