Coach's Corner
"Today's meet was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to take a break from training camp and race against two very competitive power 5 programs.

We swam "fun" events, but the team still showed up to compete and do their best. Coming off TEEs and a couple weeks of tough training, it was a good reminder of what we need to do when we race, to be at our best. We're excited to get back to work tomorrow morning and work on some of the details that were missing today.

Congrats to Jacob Powell for setting an Academy Record in the 100 IM."— Head Coach Brandt Nigro

What's Next
The Black Knights continue their road trip and will face Penn State on Friday, January 13 at 4 p.m.
