Post Meet Reactions
"This meet was a great opportunity for the divers as we finally got to officially kickstart our season. The divers had high morale this meet, competing harder dives with only a few small errors. We did a great job as a whole, but we are motivated to continue fixing small details to get us prepared for December." – Minh Donnell

"First full sweep of the season! I'm very proud of the energy we brought to the pool deck tonight. We've started getting into the bulk of our training with a hard week, but that didn't stop us from showing up and performing today. I'm super excited for our next meet in Minnesota! Go Army! It Will Be Done." - Maggie Kroening

"I'm proud of how well the athletes performed; they showed great dedication and skill. However, there are still some areas we can refine to reach our full potential." – Head Diving Coach Connor Dorff
