"It was a great start to the season," said interim head coach Brie Globig. " They all executed their races very well, and we're excited to see how they progress. We had a lot of fun and that's all we can ask for right here. We had a few girls stand out for us today, freshman Lauren Kilgore had a some great, hard races. Duda Sales did well in her butterflies and had some great times. To top it off, Izzy Jones had a strong meet as well."
