"We had an outstanding all-around team effort today," said
Jim Henry, the Robert J.H. Kiphuth Head Coach of the men's and women's swimming and diving programs. "Coming off a difficult training trip to Florida our team demonstrated a willingness to engage in racing from the second the starter's gun went off. We are so happy with how much support they gave each other in every race and dive. This unity will only make us stronger come championship season."
