THOUGHTS ON THE MEET
Director Rosalind Joseph: “Closing out year one as director – this is the meet you want to be at! Watching our young men and women not only feel like they belong here but fight like they belong here is rewarding. It’s hard to get to this meet. There are no subjective measures to get here. Student-athletes have to line up every meet, every round, every opportunity and compete. I’m so proud of all of them for showcasing their talent at this level and representing the school and program well. We look forward to being back next year.
I’m so thankful for my coaching staff, support staff and administration for working so hard on behalf of our student-athletes to get us here.”
