Coach Johnson states, “It always amazes me how well our athletes do at both the District and Regional level against teams who’ve had more practice time. I am thrilled with how much dedication and effort my swimmers put in to get as much practice time as they can on their own. I am already looking forward to next year’s season with these athletes and the incoming Freshmen.”
